The intensity of an earthquake wave passing through the earth is measured to be 2.5×106 j/(m2⋅s) at a distance of 43 km from the

source what was its intensity when it passed a point only 1.5 km from the source?

r₁ = distance of the point from the source = 43 km = 43000 m

I₁ = intensity of earthquake wave at distance "r₁" = 2.5 x 10⁶ W/m²

r₂ = distance of the point from the source = 1.5 km = 1500 m

I₂ = intensity of earthquake wave at distance "r₂" = ?

we know that , for a constant power , the intensity of wave is inversely proportional to the distance from the source .

I α 1/r²             where I = intensity of wave , r = distance from source

hence we can write

I₁/I₂ = r₂²/r₁²

inserting the values

(2.5 x 10⁶) /I₂ = (1500/43000)²

I₂ = 2.1 x 10⁹ W/m²

 <span>Basaltic magma (properly called mafic magma) forms in areas of the mantle where silica (SiO2) is low, but iron and magnesium is high. This usually and most famously occurs along spreading ridges, where oceanic crust is formed, but can occur anywhere -- including surface volcanoes, which can form flood basalts as we commonly know them.

Which substances are inorganic? Check all that apply.
bezimeni [28]

The major characteristic an organic compound has which an inorganic

compound doesn't  have is the presence of carbon atoms in the molecule.

This helps us to differentiate the compounds into their respective divisions.

Inorganic compounds

  • K2CO3
  • Fe3O4

Organic compounds

  • C6H12O6
  • C4H10
  • C27H46O

We can observe that inorganic compounds lack carbon atoms which makes

the answer valid.
