Question

Define Epicenter and Richter Scale.​

Answer 1

Answer:

epicenter-a point, directly above the true center of disturbance, from which the shock waves of an earthquake apparently radiate

Richter scale -a numerical scale for expressing the magnitude of an earthquake on the basis of seismograph oscillations.

Answer 2

Answer:

Epicenter- the point on the earth's surface vertically above the focus of an earthquake

Richter Scale- a numerical scale for expressing the magnitude of an earthquake on the basis of seismograph oscillations. The more destructive earthquakes typically have magnitudes between about 5.5 and 8.9; it is a logarithmic scale and a difference of one represents an approximate thirtyfold difference in magnitude.
