The magnitude, M, of an earthquake is defined to be M=log I/S, where I is the intensity of the earthquake (measured by the ampli

tude of the seismograph wave) and S is the intensity of a “standard” earthquake, which is barely detectable. What is the magnitude of an earthquake that is 10 times more intense than a standard earthquake? Use a calculator. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

<h2>1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

       Magnitude M of an earthquake is defined as M=log\text{ }\frac{I}{S}. Here I is the Intensity of the earthquake and  S is the intensity of standard earthquake.

       We have an earthquake that is 10 times more intense than a standard earthquake. Let us denote the intensity of the earthquake as I.

       10 times more intense than standard earthquake ⇒ I=10S

   Magnitude of the earthquake = M\text{ = }log\text{ }\dfrac{I}{S}\text{ = }log\text{ }\dfrac{10S}{S}\text{ = }log\text{ }10\text{ = }log_{10}\text{ }10\text{ = }1

∴ Magnitude of the earthquake is 1.
