Answer» ONG>ANSWER: Richter" magnitude scale 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. |
