The second major reason for the difference in gravity at differentlatitudes is that the Earth's equatorial bulge (itself also caused by centrifugalforce from rotation) causes objects at the Equator to be farther from the planet's centre than objects at the poles.
To measure the strength of an earthquake, you can use either a Richter scale or Mercalli scale. Richter scale uses the amplitued of the wave and the distance from the source. Mercalli scale uses observations of people and is not considered to be scientific as Richter scale.
Set up a proportion
1 mile/1.6 km = 20,000miles/x
Cross Multiply
x = (20,000) * (1.6)
x = 32,000 kilometers
