Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
An earthquake measurements indicate a maximum amplitude of 400 mm. Calculate the magnitude of the earthquake using the Richter formula if A0 (standard amplitude) is 0.1 mm.
💡 Hint: Use the logarithmic properties to simplify the values.
Question 2
If a 5.0 magnitude earthquake releases a certain amount of energy, calculate the energy released in Joules for a 7.0 magnitude earthquake.
💡 Hint: Remember the relationship of energy release for every magnitude increment.
