Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C                            

Earthquake with magnitude 6 is considered as moderate magnitude of earthquake.

Earthquake with magnitude 4 is considered as low magnitude earthquake.

Difference between the magnitude of the earth quake is 6 - 4 = 2

the difference in the magnitude is 2                    

The earthquake of magnitude 6  is 100 times more stronger than the earthquake of magnitude 4.

Answer:

c) 100

Explanation:

The energy of an earthquake is giben by the following formula:

\log{E} = 5.24 + 1.44M

In which log is the logarithm operation and M is the magnitude.

We can isolate E elevating both sides to 10, which leaves us with 10^{\log{E}} = E on the left side. This is a logarithm property So:

E = 10^{5.24 + 1.44M}

Magnitude 6

Has a energy of

E = 10^{5.24 + 1.44*6} = 7.59 \times 10^{13}

Magnitude 4

Has a energy of

E = 10^{5.24 + 1.44*4} = 10^{11}

So the earthquake of magnitude 6 is \frac{10^{13}}{10^{11}} = 100 times more energetic.

If y equals 32, then what is x in this equation? y = 192 ÷ x
Sergeu [11.5K]
If y equals 32, then x would equal 6. Plugging in 32 for y is shown here
32=192/x. The opposite of division is multiplication so multiply both sides by x. You would end up with 32x=192. Finally divide both sides by 32 to get x=6.

Identify three (3) different ocean-ocean convergent boundaries. Be sure to indicate which two plates are involved in the collisi
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

i south American plate(Note that the south american plate has both oceanic and continental plates) convergence with the Caribbean plate

ii Pacific plate converging with the North American plate

iii Pacific and the Mariana plates

Explanation:

Convergent boundaries are boundaries where tectonic plates collides. The plate collision might be between oceanic plate and continental plate, continental and continental plate and oceanic and oceanic plates. Usually, when the continental plate collides with the oceanic plates the more denser plate which is the oceanic plate subduct.

Ocean-ocean convergent boundaries is the collision between oceanic plates.Three different occurrence of ocean-ocean convergence are  

i south American plate(Note that the south american plate has both oceanic and continental plates) convergence with the Caribbean plate. The more denser plate subduct after the collision which is the south American plate. The south American plate is more cooler and denser than the Caribbean plate so it will descend beneath the  Caribbean plate.

ii Pacific plate converging with the North American plate(oceanic plate section). The pacific plate will descend  beneath North American plate because of it denser nature.

iii Pacific and the Mariana plates. The pacific will also be subducted here because Mariana plate is less dense than it  and even more buoyant .

The general geologic features/phenomenon found in this kind of boundaries are trenches , Island arc, volcanoes, earthquakes etc
