8 0

Answer:

A. 1000

Explanation:

The Richter scale is a scale of numbers used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake, which is based on the size of its seismic waves. This scale indicates a number to quantify the total seismic energy released by an​ earthquake. The Richter magnitude scale is a base-10 logarithmic scale, thereby a difference of one (1) point in the scale of magnitude corresponds to a 10-fold increase in amplitude. For example, based on the Richter scale, a magnitude-8 earthquake is 100 times greater than a magnitude-6 and 1000 times greater in amplitude than a magnitude-5.

Lilit [14]

George is lifting weights. He starts by doing biceps curls which involves flexing his elbows.  His elbow is able to bend because the humero-ulnar joint is a hinge joint.  Sam is doing leg presses, extending his knees as he pushes against the weights. Meanwhile, Jane is doing "lat pulls" by pulling downward on a weighted bar. This movement involves adduction of her arms.  Her shoulder joint is a  ball-and-socket joint, allowing a wide range of movements.
