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.

According to the graph above, the population gap between the United States and Japan is __________. A. widening B. shrinking C.
Rudiy27
The correct answer is - A. widening.

Both of the countries suffer from low fertility rate, Japan little more than the USA. The gap is widening because of the migrations.
- USA is country that is on the top of the list as a destination for migration, and also it is a country that allows big number of migrants in it every year, that contributes to the country's population to become bigger and bigger even though the fertility rate is low.
-Japan the other hand is a country that has both very low fertility rate, and very small amount of migrants coming to live in it, so the number of the population is stagnant for some time now, and is expected to start decreasing quickly in the coming years once the older population is not among the living anymore.
