What's the origin of the phrase '<em>The Big Apple</em>'? ... He reports hearing the phrase used by stable lads while on a visit to New Orleans in 1920, although there's nothing in that report to link the phrase to New York.

"<em>Big Apple</em>" is a nickname for New York City. It was first popularized in the 1920s by John J. Fitz Gerald, a sports writer for the New York Morning Telegraph. Its popularity since the 1970s is due in part to a promotional campaign by the New York tourist authorities.

ohaa [14]

Answer: 10, 100

Explanation:

Magnitudes are based on a logarithmic scale (base 10). For each whole number you go up, the amplitude of the ground motion recorded by a seismograph goes up ten times. Using this scale, a magnitude 5 earthquake would result in ten times the level of ground shaking as a magnitude 4 earthquake (and 32 times as much energy would be released).

1 unit increase corresponds to 10 fold increase in magnitude.
