How is the intensity and magnitude of an earthquake measured?
Earthquakes are measure with a seismograph which indicates the intensity of earth crust´s movements this measurement is call Richter 1 being less intensity and 10 being major intensity.
What did the 2004 tsunami measure on the Richter scale?
The Richter scale is a measure of the energy released at the focus of the earthquake, which was a magnitude 9.0 quake that triggered the tsunami. A tsunami can be measured in wave height and wave speed and it was reported that the height of a tsunami wave that struck a coastal city in Japan's on March 11 at just over 77 feet high. In most places the waves were up to 4 stories high at 10 meters (33 feet). The wave speed was estimated to be 500mph or 800 kilometers per hour.
How do you find the amount of mechanical energy lost when colliding with a floor?
Measure the height of the subsequent bounces, and compare gravitational potential energy.
What does an earthquake make the ground do?
An earthquake causes vibrations to move through the ground (in simple terms this makes the ground shake). If the earthquake is large and releases a lot of energy then the amplitude of the shaking (a bit like the height of a water wave) gets larger and so does the ability of the earthquake to cause damage.
Distance from epicenter?
According to the chart, this earthquake's epicenter was 215 kilometers away. Measure the amplitude of the strongest wave. The amplitude is the height (on paper) of the strongest wave. On this seismogram, the amplitude is 23 millimeters.
What is the amount of energy release by an earthquake?
it is half the height (in metres) times 3
What is the amplitude of a wave is a direct measure of what?
The wave height and energy.

What is formula for area of a parallelogram?
Area = base * height(height being the vertical measure, not the sloped measure)Area = base * height(height being the vertical measure, not the sloped measure)
How strong is a magnitude 8 earthquake compared to a 7?
The amplitude (height) of the seismic waves in a magnitude 8 earthquake will be ten times larger than in a magnitude 7 quake. This equates to approximately 31 times more energy.
At what height from the surface of the earth the total energy of the satellite is equal to its potential energy at a height of 2R from the surface of earth?
This question cannot be answered because:the total energy of the satellite includes its kinetic energy and that depends on its orbital speed. This is not specified;it is not clear what you mean by "potational": is it a typo for rotational or potential?what is R? The radius of the earth or the height of the satellite or some other measure?
What gives something potintial energy?
Potential energy is the theory that an object has energy that can be released. Gravitational Potential Energy is an example of this. GPE is obtained as you gain height, the more height, the more GPE.
What would you measure to determine egg's gravitational potential energy?
Gravitational energy is U = mgh. Therefore, you need the egg's mass and the height at which it will be dropped. g=9.8
What causes the change in the marble's energy when it is released from a different height?
It gains kinetic energy while losing potential energy. There is also some additional energy loss due to entropy,
