The magnitude of an earthquake that is 35 more times intense than a standard earthquake is 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
I be the intensity for which we have to find magnitude
S is the standard intensity of earthquake
And
M is the magnitude
The intensity of standard earthquake is 10.
[tex]35\ times\ of\ 10 = 35*350 =350\\I=350[/tex]
The formula for magnitude is:
[tex]M= log \frac{I}{S}\\Putting\ values\\M= log \frac{350}{10}\\M = log\ 35\\M = 1.544\\M= 1.5[/tex]
The magnitude of an earthquake that is 35 more times intense than a standard earthquake is 1.5
