The difference between the two mentioned magnitudes is 4. A magnitude 1 earth-quack is 10000 times bigger than a magnitude -3 earth-quack. On the other hand, it is 1000000 times stronger in terms of energy release.
Note: To calculate the difference in energy between two earth-quacks, first you calculate the difference between their magnitudes and then you raise 10 to the output you obtain.
True. This is why cliffs change or older buildings are scuffed up. Not because of vandalism or animals it’s because small particles slowly erode away the surface.
Permineralization is the process in which minerals precipitate out of groundwater and fill empty pore spaces in organic materials like plants or bones.
