32+48 = 80
Four equivalent expressions are:
40+40 = 80
20+60 = 80
10+70 = 80
30+50 = 80
We have that
<span>log10 E = 4.4 + 1.5<span>M
</span></span>E=<span>the released energy in Joules (J)
M= </span><span>earthquake measures---------- > 3.6
</span>log10 E = 4.4 + 1.5*3.6
log10 E = 9.8----------> E=10^(9.8)= 6.309573444 x10^9 J
<span>
the answer is </span>6.309573444 x10^9 J<span>
