Answer: 10, 100

Explanation:

Magnitudes are based on a logarithmic scale (base 10). For each whole number you go up, the amplitude of the ground motion recorded by a seismograph goes up ten times. Using this scale, a magnitude 5 earthquake would result in ten times the level of ground shaking as a magnitude 4 earthquake (and 32 times as much energy would be released).

1 unit increase corresponds to 10 fold increase in magnitude.

What is the answer I’m very confused on this one
Anarel [89]
Hey there!
Indeed you can be arrested for DUI under the influence of a stimulant.
While some think that you can be arrested for driving under influence only because of alcohol, you can be arrested for using any drug while driving, even stimulants, because they are still impacting you in a way that can change behavior and impair your ability to drive- endangering other drivers.
Hope this helps!
