Question

Which factor does the moment magnitude scale estimate?

A) damage
B) location
C) wave strength
D) energy released

Answer 1

Answer:

$\underline{\huge{Answer:-}}$

damage

Explanation:

Moment magnitude measures the size of events in terms of how much energy is released. Specifically, moment magnitude relates to the amount of movement by rock (i.e. the distance of movement along a fault or fracture) and the area of the fault or fracture surface.

Answer 2

The moment magnitude scale estimate by D) energy released.

Explanation:

Moment magnitude is defined as the relationship between the quantity of rock displacement and the area of the fault or fracture surface.

Damage:

• Although various scales have been established over time, the two most often used in the United States today are the moment magnitude scale, which measures magnitude, and the magnitude scale, which measures magnitude (M).

Location:

• Seismometer data can be used to determine the timing, position, and magnitude of an earthquake.

Wave strength:

• The amplitude of a wave is a measurement of its strength or intensity. When looking at a sound wave, for example, the amplitude will indicate how loud the sound is.

Energy released:

• Exothermic reactions are chemical processes that release energy. When bonds are formed in the products, more energy is released than is utilised to break bonds in the reactants in exothermic reactions.
