Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
The Richter scale measures the magnitude, M, of an earthquake as a function of its intensity, I, and the intensity of a reference earthquake, . Which equation could be used to find the intensity of an earthquake with a Richter scale magnitude of 4.8 in reference to an earthquake with an intensity of 1?
Solution:
The Richter magnitude scale was developed in 1935 by Charles F. Richter. The Richter scale is used to measure the strength of earthquakes.
The magnitude of an earthquake (M) using a Richter scale is given by:
