The largest earthquake in a certain year was in the ocean that was recorded as an 8.5 on the Richter Scale. The most devastating earthquake was in a major city that registered 6.5 on the Richter Scale. How many time more intense was the quake in the ocean? (+) Use R = where Io is a certain minimum intensity used for comparison. The quake in the ocean was times more intense. (Round to 3 decimal places.) Question Help: Written Example Calculator
