What caused the 6.3-magnitude earthquake in Christchurch on Feb 22 2011?
the movement of the Australian and pacific plates :)
What rating system was developed by Charles Richter in 1935?
The Richter Scale, which reads the movement and level (magnitude) of an earthquake.
Determine whether you are accelerating as earth rotates once every 24 hours?
Yes. Since the direction of the movement changes, that means there is an acceleration. Remember, acceleration is a change in velocity; velocity includes both a magnitude and a direction.Yes. Since the direction of the movement changes, that means there is an acceleration. Remember, acceleration is a change in velocity; velocity includes both a magnitude and a direction.Yes.

Does speed have magnitude only?
speed has magnitude. velocity has magnitude and direction.
What is the scale a seismologist uses to measure the energy of an earthquake?
These are known as magnitude scales. The most commonly known is the Richter magnitude scale which can be calculated from the amplitude of seismic waves measured by a seismometer. However it was not designed for use with larger earthquakes (greater than magnitude 7.0) or for ones a long way from the seismometer station (greater than around 650 km). As such the moment magnitude scale was developed which is calculated from the cross sectional area of the slipped fault, the elastic properties of the rock mass around the fault and the size of the fault movement. This is harder to derive than the Richter magnitude but can be used for larger earthquakes.
What is a pickup current?
the initial movement of a machine which requires magnitude to move or to be active
What do seismographs detect?
they check the intensity or magnitude of the earthquake.
Any time there is no change in the movement of an object what is true of the force pairs acting on the object?
They are equal in magnitude.

What is the surface movement magnitude and intensity at Yellowstone national park?
The normal surface movement, magnitude, and intensity at Yellowstone National Park varies from about 1.5 to 3.0. These would be barely noticeable by the average person. But the forest rangers and geologists would notice and be aware of any larger movements.
What do R O M stand for in the military?
Possible meanings. Rough Order Magnitude Reception and Onward Movement Reduced-Order Methods Refuel on the Move Restriction of Movement
What is Moment Magnitude?
Moment Magnitude is an earthquake measure that calculates energy during an eruption. It is based on the seismic movement which equals the Earth's rigidity which is then multiplied by the average slip on the fault and the size of the slipped area.

Apparent movement of a star used to measure its distance from earth?
The absolute magnitude of a star is the amount of light received by earth?
What would be the magnitude and direction of acceleration which would make the balance reading zero?
In physics, if the balance reading is zero then the magnitude and direction of acceleration would also be zero. There can be no movement or force if everything is balanced.
