Answer:

The Greeks attributed magnitude 1 to the brightest star seen in the night sky.

Explanation:

The Greeks created a system of magnitude based on the brightness of stars in the northern sky. It is not known for sure which astronomer was responsible for this, although many believe Hipparchus or Alexander Ptolemy is the creator.

These magnitude systems related the star's apparent brightness to its actual size. That way the brighter the star appeared in the night sky, the bigger its real size would be. For the brightest stars, magnitude 1 was associated.

Which have scientists learned from studying seismic waves that travel through earth’s interior?
DENIUS [597]
<span><span>D. They have learned the precise depths where the boundaries between the earth's layers are located.</span>

The overwhelming amount of seismic activity particularly happens along convergent plate boundaries. In particular, reverse or thrust faults occurs on convergent plate boundaries.Converging plate boundaries are classified into two types of activities.First is the subduction boundary where the oceanic lithosphere is pressured beneath a continental plate or oceanic plate thus it overrides the other plate then slowly directed to the mantle where it will become a magma. Second is the collisional boundary where earthquakes occur because of the continental crust squeezed together then plates are pushed upwards.Reverse faults are correlated to earthquakes with magnitude of 8 or more.Hence, earthquakes of magnitude 8 or more are considered powerful and mega thrust earthquakes.</span>
