Do seismographs record the air movements caused by seismic waves?
it records the frequency of the earthquake !
The magnitude of an earthquake is a function of its location?
false
True False Cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutation that is the dominant allele of a gene?
False.
A major problem in predicting earthquakes is that no single change in earth occurs for all earthquakes true or false?
The answer would be false. What is clearly unpredictable is the magnitude of any given earthquake.
Would a false positive from the reaction between the inoculating loop and hydrogen peroxide be caused by poor specificity or poor sensitivity of the catalase test system?
The false positive from the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and the inoculating loop would be caused by poor specificity. The formula for specificity is TN/TN+FP.
Does The Richter Scale measure the damage caused by a given earthquake?
False!
Is an earthquake any seismic vibration of earth caused by the slow release of energy?
False. An earthquake is a seismic wave caused by a sudden release of energy.
The Richter scale is a system that measures the amount of energy released at the focus of an earthquake true or false?
true
Do seismographs record the air movements caused by seismic waves?
it records the frequency of the earthquake !
Were doug kopp's earthquake survival claimstrue or false?
FALSE
True or false geologists can predict accurately where and when an earthquake will strike?
false.
Is it true that On the Richter scale an earthquake measuring 2 is ten times stronger than one measuring 3?
No, it is the other way round - higher numbers indicate a stronger earthquake. The factor 10 is correct, though.
True or false the kinetic energy of a material is a result of vibration and movement within and between particles?
false
True or false - The magnitude scale is a measure of the energy released It does not directly measure the extent of building damage?
True! Damage caused by earthquakes is measured using intensity scales such as the Modified Mercalli scale or the European Macroseismic Scale (EMS), whereas the energy released during an earthquake is measured using a magnitude scale such as the Moment magnitude scale or the now outdated Richter scale.
The magnitude of an earthquake is a function of its location?
false
Seismic waves end at an earthquake's center.?
Seismic waves end at an earthquake's center.
What was false about the Christchurch earthquake?
What? Nothing was FALSE. It actually DID happen - in fact there have been 9,000 of them in just over a year. Nothing "false' about that!
