Earthquakes are complicated events, and so the intent here is not to provide a complete discussion of the science involved in them. Rather. we will look at a simplified version of the Richter scale. The Richter scale measures the magnitude of an earthquake by comparing the amplitude of the seismic waves of the given earthquake to those of a "magnitude 0 event", which was chosen to be a seismograph reading of 0.001 millimeters recorded on a seismometer 100 kilometers from the earthquake's epicenter. Specifically, the magnitude of an earthquake is given by: Mix) = log lit/0.001}, where x is the seismograph reading in millimeters of the earthquake recorded 100 kilometers from the epicenter. 1} Use the formula for the magnitude of an earthquake and do the following: a} Show that Mf0.001}= 0. hi Compute M(80.000}. c) Show that an earthquake which registered 6.? on the Richter scale had a seismograph reading ten times larger than one which measured 5.7. 2} Research a current earthquake. Share what you find out about the magnitude and the seismograph reading
