  1. example 5 Richter Scale Chapter 5.2 Because the intensities of earthquakes are so large, the Richter scale was developed to provide a “scaled down” measuring system that permits earthquakes to be more easily measured and compared. The Richter scale gives the magnitude R of an earthquake using the formula where I is the intensity of the earthquake and I0 is a certain minimum intensity used for comparison. 2009 PBLPathways

  2. Because the intensities of earthquakes are so large, the Richter scale was developed to provide a “scaled down” measuring system that permits earthquakes to be more easily measured and compared. The Richter scale gives the magnitude R of an earthquake using the formula where I is the intensity of the earthquake and I0 is a certain minimum intensity used for comparison.

  3. The following table describes the typical effects of earthquakes of various magnitudes near the epicenter.

  4. If an earthquake has an intensity of 10,000 times I0 , what is the magnitude of the earthquake? Describe the effects of this earthquake. Show that if the Richter scale reading of an earthquake is k, the intensity of the earthquake is . An earthquake that measured 9.0 on the Richter scale occurred in the Indian Ocean in December 2004, causing a devastating tsunami that killed thousands of people. Express the intensity of this earthquake in terms of I0. If an earthquake measures 7.0 on the Richter scale, give the intensity of this earthquake in terms of I0. How much more is the intensity of the earthquake in part (c) than the one with Richter scale measurement of 7.0?
