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.

Why do species evolve during adaptive radiation to fill different niches to create variation to become reproductively isolated t
BabaBlast [244]
The answer is to fill different niches.

<span>Adaptive radiation is the process of development of new forms of organisms from an ancestral species. <u>When an environment changes or some new niches open, speciation from the ancestral species occurs. </u>New species have morphological and physiological adaptations which allow them to exploit a whole range of divergent environment.</span>
