Richter scale is a unit of measuringthe magnitude of a/an*volcano*creation of plate*earthquake*earth movement |

Answer» Answer: First, the scale is logarithmic, so that each unit REPRESENTS a ten-fold increase in the amplitude of the seismic waves. As the energy of a WAVE is 101.5 times its amplitude, each unit of magnitude represents a nearly 32-fold increase in the seismic energy (STRENGTH) of an earthquake. |
