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.

Explain why an object moving in
vazorg [7]

An object moving in  a circle is accelerating, even if it  moves with a constant speed​ because the velocity changes.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The direction of an object changes constantly during its movement in circle at a constant speed. As the direction changes it results in changing the velocity of that object. This happens since velocity  has direction and magnitude.as it is vector quantity.

An object will have acceleration only if a resultant force is acting on that body. When an object is moving in a circle, this resultant force is the centripetal force that is acting towards the center of the circle.

Chemical Sedimentary Rocks are formed by the cementation, saturation and deposition of minerals in the solution causing them to be inorganic and preciptate.

The most known example of this is rock salt.

Of the list you have provided of possible examples the following are defined as chemical sedimentary rock:

  • Rock Salt
  • Iron Ore
  • SOME limestones
