Answer to Problem 11TE
A ground shaking during a
Explanation of Solution
The main reason for the earthquake is due to the breakage of rocks beneath the surface of Earth. The strength of the earthquake is measured using a scale known as the Richter's scale. It is defined by the logarithm of the waves’ amplitude. As the scale uses a logarithmic function, an increase of one-point in magnitude will result
Conclusion:
Therefore, a ground shaking during a
