Answer:

The ground is shaken 8 times more by a magnitude-8 quake than by a magnitude-1 quake.

Explanation:

  • Richter scale is a magnitude scale that shows the size and magnitude of the earthquake that is going to take place or occur. The scale was developed by Charles F Richter.
  • Before this, the shaking of the earthquake was related to the epicenter. The earthquakes are classified on the Richter scale range from  1 to 10 or greater the first 1-2 being negligible felt by none as small tremors start to rise from 3 onwards.
  • From 4-5 it's light from 5-6 its moderate and from 6-8 it's major and from 8 onwards it severest or greater that causes damage to buildings and well-designed structures. Major and heavy damages occur once per year.

given data

students = 31230

random sample = 255

speak three or more languages = 17

Which would not reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the air
lesya [120]

Many scientists feel that application of Geoengineering would not reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the air.

Explanation:

Geoengineering or climate engineering includes a wide range of technological applications that are aimed to counter climate change and global warming.

These include solar geoengineering for blocking the sunlight before it warms the earth’s surface, ocean fertilization, artificial trees etc. The main drawback that scientists fear is the usage of various chemicals because of which these technologies would not reduce greenhouse gas.

Further imposing tax regulations or simply signing climate protocols would not reduce greenhouse gases. They are just for gaining emission incentives and people will easily evade regulations.

The main focus should be on cutting down anthropogenic emission of greenhouse gases. Hence all the industries, technologies, and the people must pledge work towards reducing the greenhouse gases .
