Another word for an earthquake's strength is what?
Magnitude.
Can you compare the strength and frequency method for predicting earthquakes?
The Strength and Frequency Method only predicts how often an earthquake of a particular magnitude will occur. The Gap Hypothesis only predicts where another earthquake is most likely to occur along a fault line. Neither method will predict where the next earthquake will occur in the world, or predict an earthquake happening in a random spot, or predict both the location and strength of an earthquake.
Why do scientists need information from 3 cities to find the epicenter of an earthquake?
so that one observation can relate to another set of imformation gatherd
Will Christchurch have another earthquake?
It's very possible that Christchurch could have another earthquake. However, the possibility is low, as Christchurch had no major earthquake before the earthquake in 2010.

How much force does earthquake intensity 5 produce?
magnitude of an earthquake can be determined from the data ... an empirical quantitative ranking of the earthquake's inherent size or strength ... Another way to measure the size of an earthquake is to compute how much ... length with an average seismogenic width of 100km to produce an Mw10.5.

In a scientific study the variable that is influenced by another variable is known as?
When a variable is directly influenced by another variable it is known as a dependent variable. Conversely, a variable that isn't directly affected by another variable is known as a independent variable.
A variable that does not change as another variable changes-?
The variable that changes due to a change in another variable is known as 'dependant variable".
Another name for an earthquake?
Another name for an earthquake is a temblor.
What is the variable called that changes in response to another variable?
The answer is a dependent variable. A variable that changes in response to another variable is called a dependent variable.
What is another term for the independent variable?
Treatment variable is another term for the independent variable.
