What do you mean by "an increase of two in the magnitude 'on Richterscale ? |
|
Answer» Answer: The Richter scale is a base-10 logarithmic scale, meaning that each order of MAGNITUDE is 10 times more intensive than the last ONE. In other words, a two is 10 times more intense than a one and a three is 100 times greater. In the CASE of the Richter scale, the increase is in wave AMPLITUDE. |
