A fault has an Mw 8.5 earthquake roughly every 200 years. Imagine that scientists found a way to trigger Mw 5.0 earthquakes when

ever they wanted. If they wanted to release the same amount of energy as the Mw 8.5 earthquake, how many of the smaller earthquakes would they need the same 200-year time period

3 0

Answer:

340

Explanation:

Given that

The time period in question is 209 years

The magnitude of the first earthquake is 8.5 Mw

The magnitude if the artificially induced earthquake is 5.0 Mw

To solve this question, we'd use the simple relationship of

8.5 * 200 = 5.0 * Y, where

y is the no of artificial earthquakes required ..

Making y subject of the formula, we have

Y = 1700 / 5.0

Y = 340

Therefore, we have 340 smaller earthquakes in the said 200 yrs time period

What is magnetic susceptibility? Explain how it relates to magnetisation and provide two applications that commonly use magnetic
marissa [1.9K]

Answer: Magnetic susceptibility is way to measure how attracted or repelled a material is when exposed to a magnetic field.

Explanation: Magnetic susceptibility is related intimately to magnetization, since this is the procedure of exposing some material to a magnetic field itself, turning it permanently or momentarily magnetic. A magnetic field has <u>permanent dipole moments</u> between two magnetic materials, creating <u>electric currents.</u> Two examples of its applications are for paleomagnetic studies in geology and also structural geology.
