Question

The Richter scale is logarithmic. Each number on the scale represents a tenfold (x10) increase in intensity.

Hint: From 1 to 2 is x10, from 2 to 3 is x10, from 3 to 4 is x10, etc.

How much more intense is a magnitude 6 earthquake than a magnitude 4 earthquake?

Answer 1

The correct answer is 100 times

10^(mg1-mg2)

10^(6-4)

10^2

= 100
