Answer:

the intensity increases by a factor of 10, the Ritcher scale uses a logarithm with base 10. For example an earthquake with magnitude 2 is 10^2 times more intense than a standard earthquake, while an earthquake with magnitude 3 is 10^3 times more intense than a standard earthquake, and 10^3 = 10^2 • 10

Answer:

Because of the logarithmic basis of the scale, each whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in measured amplitude; in terms of energy, each whole number increase corresponds to an increase of about 31.6 times the amount of energy released, and each increase of 0.2 corresponds to approximately a doubling of the energy released.

It all depends. You've given us an incredibly vague question.

The outlier could be a number that's low or quite high. Also, outliers
shouldn't really contribute towards the value of the mean, median or 
range related to a group of data.

They are called outliers because they are bizarre results or numbers
and should be detached from groups of data. Outliers by definition
are abnormalities or anomalies.

I'd say outliers don't really change anything, unless you actually want
to give them credibility or weight.

Large outliers can inflate the value of means, medians and ranges.

Small outliers will invariably deflate the value of means and medians.
