the magnitude R, on the Ritcher scale of an earthquake of intensity (i) is given by the formula R=log sub10(1/1sub 0), where 1 sub 0 is the intensity of a "zero-level" earthquake. Use this formula to find the magnitude of the earthquake 10^6 times an intense as a zero-level earthquake (i=18^8*1sub0)
R=?
