How many magnitude 8 earthquakes does it take to equal the energy release for a magnitude 9 earthquake?

Physics
1 answer:
WINSTONCH [101]3 years ago
8 0
The popular Richter scale for measuring the magnitude of earthquakes is based on a log₁₀ scale.
Therefore, a magnitude 9 earth quake is 10 times a magnitude 8  earthquake.

That is, it takes ten magnitude 8  earthquakes to equal the energy released by one magnitude 9 earthquake.

Answer: 10

ivanzaharov [21]

From first law of motion, law of inertia, we know that an object remains in the state of rest or motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced external force. The skateboard riding down a hill when reaches the bottom slows down due to <u>frictional force </u>acting in the opposite direction. Frictional force is a contact force which acts between two surfaces against the direction of  motion of one surface over the other. Here, frictional force acts <u>between skateboard and ground</u>. This reduces the speed of the skateboard and it eventually stops.

what are the various ways in which lithospheric plates interact with each other as they move around on a dynamic earth??
Ivan
<span>The plates make up Earth's outer shell, called the lithosphere. (This includes the crust and uppermost part of the mantle.) Churning currents in the molten rocks below propel them along like a jumble of conveyor belts in disrepair. Most geologic activity stems from the interplay where the plates meet or divide.</span>
