The answer is Ritcher. The Ritcher scale was developed by Charles Ritcher from which it was named after in 1935. The measurement of earthquakes using the Ritcher magnitude scale is based on a logarithmic scale of between 0 and 10. This is measured using a seismogram. In earthquakes of 3.0 and below in magnitude, the shaking is almost undetectable by humans. Magnitude above 8.0, on the other hand, are very powerful and the shockwaves can be visible on the ground.

denpristay [2]

According to the Aymaran calendar it is the year of 5,528.

Explanation:

There are lot of calendars around the world, some being widely used, some less, some only locally, and some can be considered as abandoned from one reason or another. One type of calendar that is used locally is the Aymaran calendar. This calendar is practiced only in parts of Bolivia, southern Peru, and northern Chile.

The Aymaran calendar is actually one of the oldest that is still in use. While the majority of the world has just celebrated the year of 2,020 according to the Gregorian calendar, the Aymaran is way upfront of it. According to this ancient calendar it is the year of 5,528, meaning that this calendar started off in the year of 3,508 BC. Despite the backlash of the Catholic Church in order to ban this calendar and the celebrations related to it, the people still manage to stand strong and keep their traditions alive.

How might global warming impact terrestrial biomes? how might global warming impact terrestrial biomes? increased boreal forest
sleet_krkn [62]
Global warming impacts terrestrial biomes since it brings about <span>decreased precipitation and longer winter seasons. Global warming refers to the increase in temperature of the Earth's atmosphere. This is brought about by release of greenhouse gases (e.g. carbon dioxide, methane) in the air which trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere. As a result, there is increased variability of weather and climate patterns.   </span>
