The Richter magnitude of an earthquake is determined from the measurement of the amplitude of the largest seismic waves (amplitude of the surface waves)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The SAT is a standardized test that widely used for college admissions in the United States

The Richter magnitude scale is the number scale used to tell the power or magnitude of earthquakes. Charles Richter developed the Richter Scale in 1935.

Earthquake is any ground sudden shaking caused by the passage of seismic waves through Earth's rocks.

The Richter magnitude of an earthquake is determined from the measurement of the amplitude of the largest seismic waves (amplitude of the surface waves).

Seismic waves, like all waves, transfer energy from one place to another without moving material. Seismic waves have two types such as compressional, longitudinal waves or shear, transverse waves. The amplitude of the largest seismic wave of a magnitude 5 quake is 10 times that of a magnitude 4 quake and 100 times that of a magnitude 3 quake.

Which expression can be simplified to find the slope of the line of best-fit in the scatterplot below?
malfutka [58]

\frac{134-35}{16-4} is the correct answer and this expression can be simplified to find the slope of the line of best-fit in the scatterplot below by using the the slope equation : \frac{Y_{2}  - Y_{1}}{X_{2} - X_{1}}.

What is Slope of the Line?

The slope of the line is the measure of its steepness and direction. Without using a compass, determining the slope of lines in a coordinate plane can help predict whether the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or none at all.

Any two distinct points on a line can be used to calculate the slope of that line. The slope of a line formula computes the "vertical change" to "horizontal change" ratio between two distinct points on a line. In this article, we will learn about the slope-finding method and its applications.

List the following compounds in decreasing electronegativity difference.
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Based on Pauling Scale, electro negativity of Cl = 3.2, Na = 0.9 and H = 2.1

Explanation:

Thus, Electronegativity difference  in Cl2 = 3.2 -3.2 = 0

Electronegativity difference  in NaCl = 3.2-0.9 = 2.3

Similarly, Electronegativity difference  in HCl = 3.2 - 2.1 = 1.1

Thus, among the listed molecules following is the decreasing order of electronegativity difference: NaCl> HCl > Cl2
