I'm thinking it is b or c idk

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Take the difference in the Richter scale readings

OpenStudy (1995monster):

probably not B tho

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then raise that difference with a base of 10

OpenStudy (1995monster):

difference is .7

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

example: going from a 2.0 to a 3.4 3.4-2 = 1.4 10^1.4 = 25.1188643150958 so the 3.4 earthquake is approx 25.12 times stronger than the 2.0 earthquake
