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.

Consider a pan of water being heated (a) by placing it on an electric range and (b) by placing a heating element in the water. W
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Method B is the more efficient way of heating the water.

Explanation:

Method B is more efficient because by placing a heating element in the water as in described in method B, the heat that is lost to the surroundings is minimized which implies that more heat is supplied directly to the water. Therefore, more heating is achieved with a lesser amount of electrical energy input. Whereas placing the pan on a range means more heat losses to the surrounding and as such it will take a longer time for the water to heat up and also take more electrical energy.
