Question

In 2010, Haiti was hit by a devastating earthquake, which registered at 7. 0 on the Richter scale. The largest recorded earthquake since 1900 occurred in 1960 in Valdivia, Chile, and registered at 9. 5 on the Richter scale. About how many times greater was the intensity of the Chilean earthquake? 2. 5 25 150 316.

Answer 1

Answer:

I think it's 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the Chilean earthquake was 9.5 and Haiti was 7.0 the just subtract from the 9.5 to get the greater. Obviously a 9.5 on the Richter scale is going to do way more damage either way. I apologize if I'm wrong, bit I think it's 2.5 (If not that selection choose 2) Have a great day loves!! <3
