There are 2 earthquakes are given below;

1st earthquake's magnitude is M=7.1 and the 2nd earthquake's magnitude is M=5.2 on the Richter scale.

How many times 1st earthquake has a magnitude greater than 2nd earthquake about?

( On the Richter scale, the magnitude M of an earthquake of intensity I is expressed by the formula: M = log10I.)


10

25

50

80

125


Yanıt Açıklaması:

For the first earthquake, the intensity is; M = log10I› 7.1=log10I› I=107.1

For the second earthquake, the intensity is; M = log10I› 5.2=log10I› I=105.2

on the Richter scale yields an intensity change by a factor of

107.1/105.2 =101.9=79.43 

Strictly speaking; the fist earthquake had a magnitude about 80 times greater than second earthquake.
