Question

an earthquake measuring 6 on the Richter scale is more powerful than another of magnitude 4 by
options : (1) 3/2times (2) 100times (3) 2/3times (4) 10times
​

Answer 1

Answer:

10 times

Explanation:

The magnitude scale is logarithmic. That just means that if you add 1 to an earthquake's magnitude, you multiply the shaking by 10. An earthquake of magnitude 5 shakes 10 times as violently as an earthquake of magnitude 4; a magnitude-6 quake shakes 10 times as hard as a magnitude-5 quake; and so on.

Answer 2

Answer:

100 times

Explanation:

magnitude of 6 is 1000000

magnitude of 4 is 10000

so 1000000/10000 = 100

so ans is 100 times
