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.

eimsori [14]

Answer:

it is a good way

Explanation:

It is a good way to gather demographic information because it's very accurate. Censucount.org says that "The Census Bureau reported a net national overcount of 0.01% in 2010" which means they are only off by a little, but still effective. THe demographic information is then used to decide where to distribute the funds and taxes for schools, public areas, supermarkets, etc.
