Mount Everest is in the Himalaya mountain range, which is in Nepal
The moon makes one full rotation around the earth every month (29.53 days). This means that it makes one 360 degree rotation every ~30 days, which is 12 degrees of movement per day.
Since the earth rotates once every day, so it makes one 360 degree rotation every 24 hours.
To determine how many 'hours' later 12 degrees is, do: 12 degrees / 360 degrees * 24 hours(in a day) = .8 hours, which if you multiply by 60 you get 48 minutes.
The correct answer is the Richter scale
Mercali is used to measure damage created by the earthquake, while the remaining two are not scales of measurement.
