Answer:

Essentially, each successive magnitude is 33 times larger than the last. That means a magnitude-8.0 earthquake is 33 times stronger than a 7.0, and a magnitude-9.0 earthquake is 1,089 (33 x 33) times more powerful than a 7.0 — the energy ramps up fast.

The magnitude 7 earthquake is 100 times as strong as the magnitude 5 earthquake. The 100 comes from the increase in the scale from 5 to 7, which is an increase of 2, so you multiply the strength of the weaker earthquake by 107-5 = 102 = 100, and that gives you the strength of the stronger earthquake.

How might an individual's own cells lead to false verdicts of guilt.

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Through a circumstance known as "secondary transfer DNA", or "Touch DNA".

Explanation:

Most times when a crime is committed, DNA samples are obtained from surfaces in the scene where the crime was committed. There is a very huge possibility of picking up the DNA of someone who was never at the scene of the crime and this is a result of a condition known as Touch DNA.

Because we touch several objects which can be moved to different locations and touch people who are also always mobile, our DNA cells can find their ways to a crime scene where we had never physically been to. This can lead to false verdicts of guilt.
