What is another word for earthquake strength?
Magnitude
What is another name for the strength of a earthquake?
Magnitude is another term for the strength of an earthquake.
Difference between intensity and magnitude?
Magnitude is a measure of the energy released by the earthquake - it is an absolute value and does not vary with where it is measured. Intensity measures the strength of the shaking at a particular location and will vary with distance, substrate conditions and other factors. It is a subjective measure which depends on observation, not measurement. The reference below sets it all out for you.Is also an answer but here's another answer:This is my answer:D(Magnitude / Intensity Comparison)(Magnitude and Intensity measure different characteristics of earthquakes. Magnitude measures the energy released at the source of the earthquake. Magnitude is determined from measurements on seismographs while Intensity measures the strength of shaking produced by the earthquake at a certain location. Intensity is determined from effects on people, human structures, and the natural environment.)
Is cryogenic freezing related to nitrogen?
Cryogenic freezing is certainly related to nitrogen. In order to complete a deep cryogenic treatment a cryogen must be used. The least expensive cryogen for deep freezing is liquid nitrogen. Another cryogen is helium which allows special made cryogenic processors to reach temperatures approaching absolute zero.
How are absolute location and relative location different?
An object's absolute location is its objective location, which technically doesn't exist. Relative location is the location of one object in relation to another object.
What scale can help understand which star is brighter than another?
Apparent and absolute magnitude
What is another name for absolute value of a complex number?
The absolute value of a complex number is the magnitude of the number, which is found from sqrt(a² + b²) for the complex number a + bi
What does measurement of the brightness of a star call?
Brightness of stars (apparent and absolute magnitude) is measured by convention, taking an another star as a standard.
Why is absolute magnitude of some stars greater than their apparent magnitude for stars?
The apparent magnitude is what we see, and this can be measured directly. The absolute magnitude must be calculated, mainly on the basis of (1) the apparent magnitude, and (2) the star's distance. So, to calculate the absolute magnitude, you must first know the star's distance.
The measure of a stars brightness is called its what?
Scientists actually use two measurements to identify a star's brightness. One is luminosity, or the energy that star puts out. Another is magnitude, or the amount of light a star puts out.
What magnitude of a star is how bright it would be at a distance of 32.6 light years from earth?
That is called the absolute magnitude. It is a measure of the star's real brightness. Apart from the distance (10 parsec), another (implicit) assumption is that there is nothing in between that reduces the star's light.
Another word for an earthquake's strength is what?
Magnitude.
What is the magnitude of negative 8?
First let me start by saying that the absolute value of -8 is 8. However, this can be a dangerous question to ask, as it can become a complicated one to ask, as the magnitude of a number or function can have many answers, and each of the methods to describe the "magnitude" of a number or function is called a "norm". There are many types of norms: the infinity norm (the maximum absolute value of a function), and the L2 norm (the square root of the integral of the square of a function). Another example is the length of a curve.
Can the product of two numbers be less than either of the numbers?
If one of the numbers is negative, but the other is positive, then the product is negative - and therefore smaller than both numbers in the question. For example, 2 x -4 = -8. ===================================== Another contributor added: Also, whenever the absolute magnitude of both factors is less than ' 1 ', the absolute magnitude of the product is less than either factor.
How are negative integers measured?
Typically, negative numbers could be "measured" by the difference between the number and another number. The magnitude of a negative number is the distance from zero. Essentially, remove the minus sign, and you have the magnitude (also called absolute value) of the number.
What is another word for an earthquake?
Magnitude
Is standard deviation an absolute value?
No. Standard deviation is not an absolute value. The standard deviation is often written as a single positive value (magnitude), but it is really a binomial, and it equals both the positive and negative of the given magnitude. For example, if you are told that for a population the SD is 5.0, it really means +5.0 and -5.0 from the population mean. It defines a region within the distribution, starting at the lower magnitude (-5.0) increasing to zero (the mean), and another region starting at zero (the mean) and increasing up to the upper magnitude (+5.0). Both regions together define the (continuous) region of standard deviation from the mean value.
