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.
