Answer:

The increase in wave amplitude is 1 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In wave amplitude is seen from an earthquake measuring 5.4 on the Richter scale compares to the one measuring 4.4.

To find : How much of an increase in wave amplitude ?

Solution :

Richter scale compares to the one measuring 4.4 unit.

In wave amplitude, an earthquake measuring 5.4 unit.

Increase in measuring is higher value subtracting lower value.

$5.4-4.3=1.0$

Therefore, The increase in wave amplitude is 1 unit.
