Which two earthquakes best show that the Richter scale measurement does not indicate the loss of life in earthquakes?

The 1988 Armenia earthquake (25,000 killed) and 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake (63 killed), both magnitude 6.9.


What is the difference between a verbal scale a graphic scale and a fractional scale?

a verbal scale expresses distance as a statement, such as " one centimeter is equal to one kilometer" a graphic scale consist of the line that represents a certain distance, such as 5km or 5 miles. a fractional scale expresses ratios, such as 1:63 500. this means 1 unit on the map is 63 500 units on earths surface.


How many neutrons are in Cu-63?

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number = 63 - 29 = 34 neutrons


Why does a map need a scale of miles?

Maps need a scale because they show you how far apart the distances are that you are reading. If you were reading a map of the United States, without a scale... someone (who probably doesn't know what the United States are) might think that the US is only 55 feet across. Another example: say you were reading a map of Florida. The map happens to show Orlando, Tallahasse, and Tampa. Say you live in Georgia... and you're taking a trip into Florida. Once you land in Tallahasse, you want to drive from there to Orlando, then to Tampa, where you fly back home. Well, this map doesn't have a scale; that's a problem! You don't know how far Tallahasse is away from Orlando, or from Orlando to Tampa!!!! It's all just there to help you read the map. A map without a compass rose on it... well, you wouldn't know which way was north. Hope this helped!


Is a pulse of 63 normal for a 49 yr old who suffers with hyperthyroidsm?

A heart rate of 63 is generally normal. Untreated hyperthyroidism usually increased the heart rate so depending on exactly what is going on 63 might be considered unusually low. The answer is probably to check the EKG to make sure the beats are otherwise normal and then just follow it carefully as the hyperthyroidism resolves to see if it stays at 63 or goes lower.

What intensity is the weakest?

The moment magnitude scale goes as low as 0.0 and any quake that released less than 63 kilojoules of energy would registrer as 0.0 on the Richter scale. Quakes with a Richter value of 2.0 or less were classified as "microquakes" and were almost never detected by human senses.

How much stronger is an 8.8 than a 7.0 earthquake?

An 8.8 earthquake is approximately 63 times stronger than a 7.0 earthquake in terms of energy release. The Richter scale is logarithmic, so each whole number increase represents a tenfold increase in amplitude and a 31.6 times increase in energy release.

What is a wind at force 10?

A wind at force 10 on the Beaufort scale corresponds to a "storm" with wind speeds between 55-63 knots (63-72 mph or 102-117 km/h). It can cause extensive damage, uproot trees, and create hazardous conditions for outdoor activities and transportation.
