Answer:

It <u>estimates the size or strength of an earthquake</u> but is typically used only for medium or large earthquakes . The moment is the slip on the fault multiplied by the area of the fault surface that slips. The moment is then used to estimate the size of the earthquake by finding the moment magnitude with an equation. <u>It is the only magnitude scale that estimates the energy released from an earthquake.</u>

WARRIOR [948]

Ans.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that affects mainly respiratory tract and can be transmitted from one to another person through contaminated air. The causative agent of tuberculosis, <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> has developed resistance against many antibiotics, such as rifampin and isoniazid, which is known as tuberculosis drug resistance.

If a person infected with TB shows drug resistance against some TB drugs, 'doctors should give other TB drugs to that person, even if these drugs show less effect than common drugs'. This is because these drugs can prevent or kill the bacterium more effectively than the common drugs for which, bacterium is resistance.
