Use the Richter scale equation M lwhere M is the magnitude of an earthquake, is the intensity of the shock waves, and lo is the measure of the intensity of a zera level earthquake. Road the article below about the April 13, 2010, earthquake in ginghal province, China. Find the intensity of this earthquake, in terms of lo, for each of the magnitudes reported in the article. Round to the nearest thousand Jo 6.9

Question 3 (10 points) The Richter Scale gives a mathematical model for the magnitude of an earthquake in terms of the ratio of the amplitude of an earthquake wave (also known as the intensity of an earthquake) to the amplitude of the smallest detectable wave. If we denote the magnitude of the earthquake by R, the intensity (also known as the amplitude of the earthquake wave) of the earthquake by A, and the amplitude of the smallest detectable wave by...

The Richter scale is used to measure the intensity of earthquakes, where intensity corresponds to the amount of energy released by an earthquake. If an earthquake has an intensity of x, then its magnitude, as computed by the Richter scale, is given by the formula R(x) = log X where is the intensity of a small measurable earthquake. (a) An earthquake in city A had a magnitude of 4.0 the Richter scale and an earthquake in city B measured 5.0....

2. The following formula models the Richter scale which describes the magnitude, M, of an earthquake with amplitude A where k is a predetermined constant. M = log(1) a. What is the base of the log in this formula? b. Change this formula to exponential form c. Use the above information to explain why a 7.0 earthquake has ten times the amplitude of a 6.0 earthquake d. What would M be if A k? What would that mean in real...

Question 1: Is the magnitude of an earthquake related to the depth below the surface at which the quake occurs? In order to answer this question an analysis is conducted. Let we wish to explain depth (in kilometers) of the quake below the surface at the epicenterx by magnitude of an earthquake (on the Richter scale). Data are as follows: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 3.9 4.3 3.3 4.6 3.9 3.2 3.4 4.5 5.1 2.6...
