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.

Describe the historical and current relationship between India and Pakistan.
Arturiano [62]
India and Pakistan used to be one country up until 1947 - when the Partition of India happened.

Ever since then their relationship has been very problematic - Kashmir is disputed between the two nations, and their relationship can be described as competition (for example they both have nuclear arms and had a kind of unofficial competition over who has more ).
