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.
Basically the Earth is layered because of gravity. The earth formed in the molten state. The liquid iron which is very dense fell to the center. The rest of the earth is made up of silicate materials with SiO2 being the main component.
C- Mariana Trench. It’s the only different form the rest. The others are a consequence of plates subduing or getting under another plate and pushing up.
