What was the location of the Earthquake with the highest magnitude?
The largest earthquake recorded to date was a magnitude 9.5 that occurred in Chile on Sunday, May 22, 1960. Approximately 1,655 people were killed, 3,000 injured, 2 million homeless, and $550 million damage in southern Chile. The resulting tsunami caused 61 deaths, $75 million damage in Hawaii; 138 deaths and $50 million damage in Japan; 32 dead and missing in the Philippines; and $500,000 damage to the west coast of the United States.
Does speed have magnitude only?
speed has magnitude. velocity has magnitude and direction.
What term means the measure of energy released by an earthquake?
The measure of energy released by an earthquake depends on its magnitude. If its a high magnitude earthquake, there is a lot of energy. If there is a low magnitude, then there is little energy.
How much stronger is a magnitude 8 earthquake than a magnitude 6?
A magnitude 8 earthquake is 100 times stronger than a magnitude 6 quake.
What is the magnitude of Alpha Arietis?
the absolute magnitude is 0.48 <(-.-<)
What is the order of magnitude of the number of millimeters in one mile?
The order of magnitude is millions - 2 million, rounded.
What is the best order-of-magnitude estimate for 789000?
It is a million.
What is the order of magnitude of 3000000?
It is 10^6 or the order of a million.
What is the order of magnitude in the number 67432944?
70 million, or tens of millions.
What is an order-of-magnitude estimate?
It is a bit confusing. An order of magnitude is a factor of 10, but an order of magnitude estimate is more like a factor of 3, or the square root of 10. In some cases it is simply a "ball park" estimate. For example if a company give an order of magnitude estimate for a major construction project of 10,000,000 dollars, it could be anywhere from 3 million to 30 million, but usually it means roughly 10,000,000, give or take a few million.
What is a nillion?
If its about numbers, there is no nillion. I assume if you meant million its a number with a magnitude of 10^6
What is the damage a magnitude 8 earthquake can cause?
A magnitude 8 earthquake can release as much energy as 6 million tns of TNT. It can cause severe damage to structures and can very fatal.
Why is m short for million?
Because the word million starts with m, and it was one of the orders of magnitude required in routine life (as opposed to that in specialist scientific environment).
What is thew order of magnitude of the number 67432944?
10 million or 10^7 or 10 to the 7th power.
What is the magnitude of the number 7985345?
Its magnitude is 7985345.Its magnitude is 7985345.Its magnitude is 7985345.Its magnitude is 7985345.
Determine whether 1.2 10 raise to the power of 5 or 1.3 10 raise to the power of six is closer to one million Explain?
To determine which number is closer to one million, we can compare their magnitudes. The magnitude of 1.2 multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 5 is 1.2 million, which is 200,000 short of one million. On the other hand, the magnitude of 1.3 multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 6 is 1.3 million, which is only 100,000 short of one million. Therefore, 1.3 10 raised to the power of six is closer to one million.
What does 284055 round to?
It depends on how many digits (or what order of magnitude) you wish to round to. To the nearest 10, it is 284060. To the nearest million, it is 0.
