Question

what is the magnitude of an earthquake that is 10000 times more intense than a standard earthquake

Answer 1

10 on rither scale 'cos its 1 scale is 1000times edverse

Answer 2

The Richter Scale is based on the log of 10.

The Richter Scale of '0' is equal to the log of an earthquake with a degree of 10⁰.

The Richter Scale of '1' is equal to the log of an earthquake with a degree of 10¹.

The Richter Scale of '2' is equal to the log of an earthquake with a degree of 10².

The Richter Scale of '3' is equal to the log of an earthquake with a degree of 10³.

The Richter Scale of '4' is equal to the log of the earthquake with a degree of 10⁴.

Richter Scale of '0' = log(10⁰) = log(1) = earthquake with a degree  of 1.

Richter Scale of '1' = log(10¹) = log(10) = earthquake with a degree of 10.

Richter Scale of '2' = log(10²) = log(100) = earthquake with a degree of 100.

Richter Scale of '3' = log(10³) = log(1000) = earthquake with a degree of 1000.

Richter Scale of '4' = log(10⁴) = log(10000) = earthquake with a degree  of 10000.

So, at Richter Scale of '4' the magnitude of the earthquake will be 10000 more intense than a standard earthquake.
