What does the moment magnitude scale measure?
the moment magnitude scale rates an earthquake by estimating the total energy released during an earthquake
Can you explain how the transfer of energy as seismic waves is related to the frequency and magnitude of earthquake in a region?
They both based on the amount of energy that is released during earthquake
What scale do we use today to measure an earthquake and why?
A number of scales are used to measure earthquakes. These are broadly split into two main types. Magnitude scales and intensity scales. Magnitude scales give an indication of the amount of energy released during an earthquake and intensity scales give an indication of the sevirity of ground shaking and resultant damage in a given location. For more information on these, please see the related questions.
Are focus waves vibrations that are released during an earthquake?
No, It's Seismic Waves.
How is the energy released by the earthquake related to its moment magnitude?
The moment magnitude uses seismographs plus what physically occurs during an earthquake.
Magnitude is an earthquake's what?
The magnitude of an earthquake is caluated to measure the amount of energy released during the earthquake.
What are the goals of correlation?
to measure the amount of energy released during an earthquake
Amount of energy released during an earthquake?
magnitude
What does the moment magnitude scale measure?
the moment magnitude scale rates an earthquake by estimating the total energy released during an earthquake

What scales are used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes?
The instrument that is used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake is a seismometer.

Please someone else wrtite a answer down! i need it for homework.
What is the kind of earthquake released during an earthquake?
Earthquake waves are called seismic waves.
Which does not affect the amount of destruction caused by earthquake vibration?
the weather during the day of the earthquake
What is the difference between a 5.0 earthquake and a 6.0 earthquake?
The earthquake magnitude is a measure of the energy released during an earthquake. The scale is logarithmic, such that a magnitude of 6.0 releases about 32 times more energy than a magnitude 5.0 earthquake, and in turn more than 900 times more energy than a magnitude 4.0 earthquake.
