The news media often report an earthquake's magnitude on the Richter scale. Which of the following items are characteristics of
a Richter earthquake magnitude? Choose one or more: (A) determined from the amplitude recorded by a single seismometer
(B) determined from the amplitude recorded by several seismometers(C) represents the amount of energy released(D) uses a logarithmic scale(E) determined using damage done by the earthquake(F) calculated using area on the fault that slipped
The correct answers are A) determined from the amplitude recorded by a single seismometer. C) represents the amount of energy released. D) uses a logarithmic scale.
The news media often report an earthquake's magnitude on the Richter scale. The following items are characteristics of a Richter earthquake magnitude: determined from the amplitude recorded by a single seismometer, represents the amount of energy released, and uses a logarithmic scale.
When measuring the scale of the magnitude of earthquakes, the Richter scale measures the scale od moderated size earthquakes. It was invented by two United States seismologists: Charles F. Richer and Beno Gutenberg. They developed the measure in California when they were researching from 1927 through 1936, in the Seismological Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, in Pasadena, California.
Explanation: Rupture strength is the strength of a material that is bearable till the point before the breakage by the tensile strength applied on it. This term is mentioned when there is a sort of deformation in the material due to tension.So, rupture will occur before whenever there are chances of failing and the material is still able to bear stresses before failing.
due to the expansion process and they contract during winter due to the contraction process. Explanation: Electric cables are the solids which exhibit the property of contraction and expansion.
Both the technician are correct, ac generator output can be tested in both ways. The two ways are current output test to check ac generator output. and voltage output test to check output.
