The correct answers are;

9) Richter scale

10) Seismograph

11) measurement of the amplitude of the largest seismic wave

The Richter scale is a scale of numbers that is commonly used by scientists to measure the size (magnitude) of earthquakes. To determine the size of an earthquake using this scale, the logarithm of the amplitude of the largest seismic wave is adjusted to a scale by a seismometer.

Seismograph is the instrument that records the seismic waves of an earthquake. A seismograph automatically detects and records the direction, intensity and duration of earthquakes. Seismograph is made up of a mass that is joined to a fixed base.

The professional that most likely will be called in to help seismologist.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

When an underwater earthquake has just been recorded in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the seismologists will be called to determine if the effects of this earthquake and whether or not it will cause tsunamis off the coast of Hawaii.

Seismology is the study of earthquakes, the escalation of waves and the effects they might have. A seismologist is a scientist who is concerned with these studies. They make use of seismographs and other relevant tools to gather essential data which helps in reading the planetary movements and understanding them better. The study does not always predict an earthquake but it helps in predicting the possibility of tsunamis. Seismology enabled the development of tsunami warning systems.
