Question

Q.1.Name the quantity that is measured on the Richter Scale.

Q.2.By what factor does that quantity go up when its magnitude, on the Richter Scale,
increases by one?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1

The Richter scale measures the maximum amplitude of seismic waves as they reach seismographs.

2

Each increase of one unit on the scale represents a 10-fold increase in the magnitude of an earthquake. In other words, numbers on the Richter scale are proportional to the common (base 10) logarithms of maximum wave amplitudes.

Answer 2

Answer:

A1. The magnitude of the earthquake are measured using Richter scale..

A2. The bigger the shockwave and the earthquake the bigger will be the number...

Explanation:

hope it helps..
