2006 Hawaii 6.7 earthquake and the June 2004 Illinois 4.2 earthquake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need these put into a sientific notaion form for example 444*4.2^3

OpenStudy (da_kid_show_man):

so easy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats help ful

OpenStudy (da_kid_show_man):

Your Welcome :)

OpenStudy (phi):

is there more to the question ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused how to write a scientific notaion

OpenStudy (da_kid_show_man):

its ez.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then help me mr. its so ezz

OpenStudy (phi):

Did they tell you anything about the numbers ? It does not say, but it looks like Richter scale ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thats the right scale

OpenStudy (phi):

and what did they tell you about that scale ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Task 1: Using data provided, you will graph a relationship between the magnitude of an earthquake and the energy produced and make conclusions about this relationship based on the data. Task 2: You will learn about the Richter Scale and apply this knowledge to compare the size of earthquakes. Task 3: You will reflect on your learning experiences in part 1 and part 2 and critically think about the benefits of using the Richter Scale.

OpenStudy (phi):

OK, that looks complicated. To do Task 1, you need data what data do you have ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Earthquakes are categorized on a scale of 1-10 on a Richter Scale, where 10 is a devastatingly strong earthquake. The largest earthquake measured on Earth had a magnitude of 9.5 in May 22, 1060 in Chile. As earthquakes increase in magnitude, how much stronger are they? (i.e. What is the difference between a 5.3 earthquake versus a 7.4 earthquake?)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Calculate how much stronger the Hawaii earthquake was compared to the Illinois Earthquake. Type up or insert a picture of your work into your document. Write up an explanation of each one of your mathematical steps. You should be explaning what you did for each step and why you did it. At the end of your paragraph, complete the following sentences: "The Hawaii earthquake was __?__ times stronger than the Illinois earthquake." "One math concept that I used from my previous math experiences was... " "One math concept from Unit 6 that I used was..."

OpenStudy (phi):

do they mention " the energy produced " ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you investigated the shape and relationship between the energy of earthquakes and the magnitude of the Richter Scale. Now, let's spend some time comparing measures of magnitude. How do earthquakes of different magnitudes relate?

OpenStudy (phi):

Let's start at the very beginning. They want Task 1: Using data provided, you will graph a relationship between the magnitude of an earthquake and the energy produced that means you need magnitude of the earthquake (a number) and "energy produced" (another number). Do you have these ?
