The
scale is best used to measure the strength of small, nearby earthquakes.

The
magnitude scale is useful for measuring the strength of earthquakes of all sizes and at all distances from a seismograph.

Silica, sio2, is formed on silicon as an electrically insulating layer for microelectronic devices. silica is formed when silicon is exposed to o2 gas at an elevated temperature. at 900˚c, it takes 90 minutes for the oxygen to diffuse from the surface to form a 0.06 micron (0.06 x 10-6 m) thick layer of sio2 on

Y=‐1x + 7 if y has a value of ‐24 what is the value of x?

An alcohol thermometer makes use of alcohol's changing in order to measure temperature. as the temperature goes up, the alcohol contained in the thermometer increases in volume, filling more of the thermometer's tube.
