3. On January 24, 1939, an earthquake measuring a magnitude of 8.3 occurred in Chillian, Chile, killing 28,000 people. How many times more intense is this earthquake compared to a standard, low level earthquake? Round to the nearest hundred million. Recall: M= log where I is the intensity of the earthquake being measured, I, is the intensity of a reference earthquake, and M is the Richter number.
