Magnitude is the unit of measurement used to describe the severity of an earth quake

<u>Explanation</u>:

Magnitude is the figure that relates to the amplitude of a given earthquake. The activity is most commonly measured with something called as a Richter scale and the most severe ones are over 7 magnitude. There will be thirty times greater energy when the magnitude goes up by one unit.

There are different formulas to determine the magnitude in different types of earthquakes. For eg, if an earthquake that occurred farther than 600km, a formula known as the body wave magnitude can be utilized.

One example could be that the people in rural depends on the natural resources,such as the soil,land,and animals to farm,build facilities and hunt to sustain livelihood. Resources taken from the ecosystem are used, however one does not simply carry on like that. For instant when there is excessive cultivation, the soil nutrient would be used up causing soil erosion,leading to the soil no longer fertile enough to farm. Therefore,measures are carry out to preserve the land like growing different crops and using fertilizer.

Hope it helps!

N76 [4]
My opinion:

I would say my neighbors share some of the same cultures, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween (whatever you believe is a tradition). I certainly know we don’t share the same religion.
