Explain the difference between the Richter scale and the moment magnitude scale. Why might measurements from the Richter scale be misleading to someone who does not know how it works?

Richter Scale can break the magnitude scale of a earthquake-- the amount of energy it released

The Richter scale is logarithmic, meaning that whole number jumps indicate ten-fold increase

Earthquake size, as measured by the Richter Scale is a well known, but not well understood, concept. The idea of a logarithmic earthquake magnitude scale was first developed by Charles Richter in the 1930's for measuring the size of earthquakes occurring in southern California using relatively high-frequency data from nearby seismograph stations. This magnitude scale was referred to as ML, with the L standing for local. This is what was to eventually become known as the Richter magnitude.

Explanation:

the cells uses some of the atoms of the glucose molecules to atp molecules. the atoms of the glucose molecules will then be converted into energy which will be eventually stored in atp. the energy produced which are stored in atp are coming from the glucose’s chemical bonds.
