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.

If a vehicle that is required by law to yield to you fails to do so
Cloud [144]
Failure to yield the right of way as required by law can cause a serious car accident and potentially lead to liability for any resulting injuries. If you have been hurt by a motorist who failed to yield, you may be eligible to pursue compensation against the at-fault driver.
