Question

Magnitude of the earthquake.​

Answer 1

Answer:

We can calculate the magnitude of an earthquake using the following equation: M=log(IIN) Here the variables represent:

M the magnitude of the earthquake.

I the amplitude of the seismic wave or the intensity.

IN the arbitrary amplitude or arbitrary intensity.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Magnitude is expressed in whole numbers and decimal fractions. For example, a magnitude 5.3 is a moderate earthquake, and a 6.3 is a strong earthquake. Because of the logarithmic basis of the scale, each whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in measured amplitude as measured on a seismogram.
