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.

Jade wants to stop for coffee on her way to school. the distance from jade's house to the coffee shop is 3 miles more than twice
Serga [27]

The total distance from jade's house to school is 5 times the distance from the coffee shop to her school =  7.5 miles

Distance is the overall movement of an object without any regard to path. we will outline distance as to how a lot ground an object has protected regardless of its starting or finishing point.

Equation;

Let the distance between coffee shop and school = X

Distance from Jade's house to coffee shop = 3 miles +2x

Total distance from Jade's house to school = 5*X

∴ the total distance = house to coffee shop + coffee shop to school

                        ⇒    5X =  (3 + 2X + X)

                        ⇒     5X = ( 3 +3X)

                         ⇒     2X = 3

                          ⇒      X = 1.5 miles

Therefore,

            Distance = house to school = 5 * 1.5 = 7.5 miles

                               coffee shop to school = 1.5 miles

                               house to coffee shop = 3 + 2*1.5 = 6 miles

Hence, The total distance from jade's house to school is 5 times the distance from the coffee shop to her school =  7.5 miles
