Mercalli Intensity Scale:

<em> is a seismic intensity scale used for measuring the intensity of an earthquake. ... It is distinct from the moment magnitude (Mw) usually reported for an earthquake, which is a measure of the energy released (sometimes misreported as the Richter magnitude, ML).</em>

Answer: The correct answer is "Mercalli intensity scale".

Explanation:

Mercalli Intensity Scale: It is an effect of an earthquake on the surface of the earth. It depicts the shaking severity. It measures the amount of damage after an earthquake or It measures the destruction.

Richter scale: It describes the magnitude of the earthquake by measuring the seismic wave. It is the energy released by the an earthquake.

Therefore, Mercalli intensity scale measures the amount of damage after an earthquake.

Grace [21]

Answer:

12 neutrons

Explanation:

The number of protons also shows the atomic number. Therefore the element in question is Krypton (Kr), which also is a noble gas.

Neutrons = Mass number - protons - electrons

Here neutrons = 84 - 36 - 36 = 12

In this reaction diagram which part represents the doffrence in energy between the reactants and the products?
Annette [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C. G.

Explanation:

In this reaction diagram, there is a representation of the reaction profile. The reaction profile shows the change that takes place during a reaction in the energy of reactants or substrate and products. In this profile, activation energy looks like a hump in the line, and the minimum energy required to initiate the reaction.

The overall energy of the reaction, including or excluding activation energy depends on the nature of the reaction if it is exothermic or endothermic. and products are represented by the G which shows the difference between the energy of the reactants and products.
