The Richter Soale is a simple equation for measuring intensity of an earthquake, according to the formula R=log(I), where I is Intensity of an earthquake and Ris the Richter scale rating. The largest earthquake in the year 2006 was in the ocean that was recorded as an 8.3 on the Richter Scale. The most devastating earthquake was in a major city that registered 6.6 on the Richter Scale. How many times more intense was the quake in the ocean? a) The intensity of the 8.3 earthquake was: You can write it as a power of 10 b) The intensity of the 6.6 earthquake was: FYou can write it as a power of 10} c) The quake in the ocean was times more intense than the one in the city. (Round to 3 decimal places.)
The intensity of a wave of an earthquake is measured as 9 J/m². At a different point 8.6 km away from the first point the intensity is reduced by 20%. At what distance from the centre of the earthquake is the first intensity measured. Please give your result in km with 1 decimal. (The centre of the earthquake, the first point and the second point should all be in one straight line).

An earthquake occurs 6,875 km from a seismograph. The P-waves arrive 11.6 minutes later. How fast is the P-wave traveling (in km/s)? If the lag time between P- and S-waves is 10.8 minutes, how fast are the S-waves traveling (in km/s)? Using the shadow of S-waves you determine that the radius of the core is 55% of the Earth's 6,378-km radius. How many kilometers from the surface is this (in km)? To calculate how fast the P-waves are traveling, we need to divide the distance the waves travel by the time. vP = d s vP = km/s
