How many times more energy does an earthquake with a Richter magnitude of 8 release than an earthquake

Geography
1 answer:
Citrus2011 [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

b) About 31 times more energy

Explanation:

Lot of people get confused with the way in which the earthquake magnitude is calculated. The scale for measuring the earthquakes is logarithmic, so every whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in the measured amplitude. This results in every consecutive whole number the earthquake to be 33 times more powerful than the previous one, so the difference in power between magnitude 7 and magnitude 8 is 33 times. If we take magnitudes that are not consecutive numbers, like magnitude 6 and magnitude 8, then the difference in power will be around 1,000 times.

Answer:

Waxing crescent moon phase and it will take 29 days to a new moon.

Explanation:

Waxing means the illumination of the Moon is rising and' Crescent' means less than half of the Moon is illuminated. The waxing crescent phase is the first step towards fullness for the moon. And it's a very noticeable change— until a tiny sliver is illuminated, the moon becomes completely invisible (while it's new). The moon is only called a crescent if less than a half of it is visible the waxing crescent phase repeats every 29 days.
