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.

Every species has an important role to play in the ecosystem. Explain. <br>​
iren [92.7K]

An ecosystem comprises the physical environment.

It is an interlinked system with the plants and animals living therein linked to each other.

Ecosystems have evolved over a period of thousands of years.

Some examples of interlinking are

(i) Insects help in pollination of crops and fruit trees. Some insects also exert biological control on harmful insects.

(ii) Carnivorous animals kill herbivorous animals for food and herbivorous animals consume plants for food.

(iii) Decomposers like fungi and bacteria fertilise the soil with humus by decomposing dead animals and plants to enable plants to grow. There are many such examples of interlinking to show that every species has a role to play in the ecosystem.

Thus, we can conclude that every species has a role to play in the ecosystem
