How much stronger is a magnitude 8 earthquake than a magnitude 5 earthquake? A. 1000
B. 30
C. 3
D. 10

A. 1000

Explanation:

The Richter scale is a scale of numbers used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake, which is based on the size of its seismic waves. This scale indicates a number to quantify the total seismic energy released by an​ earthquake. The Richter magnitude scale is a base-10 logarithmic scale, thereby a difference of one (1) point in the scale of magnitude corresponds to a 10-fold increase in amplitude. For example, based on the Richter scale, a magnitude-8 earthquake is 100 times greater than a magnitude-6 and 1000 times greater in amplitude than a magnitude-5.

well schools are being forced to embrace computers. unlike their "digital immigrant" teachers, these students are "digital natives", born into a world where technology is an integral part of everyday life. almost every student has access to a multitude of computers, laptops and tablet devices. it would be crazy to assume an assignment would  not be written on computer in this day and age.
