If an earthquake measures 1.5 on the Richter Scale , what is the intensity of this earthquake , relative to a level earthquake Round off your answer to the nearest integer
Adi S.
How many times more intense is an earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale than one measuring 5.6?
Himani S.
On the Richter scale, the magnitude R of an earthquake is given by the formula R=log(I/I0) where I is the intensity of the earthquake being measured and Io is the standard reference intensity. In modern times, the greatest loss of life attributable to an earthquake occurred in eastern China in 1976. Known as the Tangshan earthquake, it registered 8.2 on the Richter scale. How does the intensity of this earthquake compare with the intensity of an earthquake of magnitude R = 6? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) ______________ times greater
