Answer:

Intensity depends on the distance form the ground and source of energy.

Explanation:

  • Earth quake that has an intensity of 1.5 on the Richter scale can be detected only through the seismograph. The earthquake with an intensity of 0 levels on the Richter scale that is below micro will not be felt or rarely felt in scale.
  • This can be defied by the Richter scale formula of  R=log(IcIn), Ic is the intensity and In is the intensity if the standards earthquake. Hence the difference will be R2−R1=log(I2I1)

All layers are incredibly important. If we didn't, we would die very quickly and life would be inhabitable. The radiation from the son would kill us. The heat from the sun would dry up water and kill crops leaving us with no food/water.

Determine the geographic coordinates of St. John's (NL) and Papeete (Tahiti). Calculate the angular distance (in degrees and rad
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Here, geographic coordinates of

St. John's (NL) is latit

The angular distance is 100o

To covert it into radians,

1o = pie/ 180o = 0. 0174444 radians

therefore,

100o =?

multiply 100 with 0. 0174444 we get,

= 1. 7444 radians

Now we have a formula to calculate the distance between these two cities.

Let y is the distance between two cities

Therefore,

Y = (x/360) x 2 x pie x R

Here,

x = angular distance between the cities.

pie = 3. 14

R= radius of earth = 6371km

Hence, by putting these values in the above formula we get,

Y = (100/360) x 2 x 3. 14 x 6371

= (0. 277777) x 40009. 88

= 11113. 82 km
