ohaa [14]4 years ago
3 0

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.

Which of the following accurately describe some aspect of gravitational waves?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

- the first direct detection of gravitational waves came in 2015

- gravitational waves are predicted to travel through space at the speed of light

-  the existence of gravitational waves is predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity

Explanation:

The gravitational waves are waves that are produced by the objects, and depending on the mass of the object they can be stronger or weaker in their influence.

These waves have been in the minds of the scientists for more than a century now, with Einstein predicting them in his theory of relativity. The only problem with these waves was that there was no proof of them. The proof finally came in 2015 when these waves were detected from the first time, with two black holes to be thanked for that as they were the source of them.

These waves are predicted to be able to travel with the speed of light through space when they have small amplitudes.

When wind and running water gradually decrease in velocity, the transported sediments are deposited
UkoKoshka [18]
<span>When wind and running water gradually decrease in velocity, the transported sediments are deposited over a period of time, and are sorted by size and density. This is because as the velocity decreases, sediments or rocks will accumulate resulting to variety of sizes and a change in density.</span>
