The magnitude, m, of an earthquake is defined to be m=log i/s, where i is the intensity of the earthquake (measured by the amplitude of the seismograph wave) and s is the intensity of a “standard” earthquake, which is barely detectable. what is the magnitude of an earthquake that is 10 times more intense than a standard earthquake? use a calculator. round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

       Magnitude of an earthquake is defined as . Here is the Intensity of the earthquake and   is the intensity of standard earthquake.

       We have an earthquake that is 10 times more intense than a standard earthquake. Let us denote the intensity of the earthquake as .

       10 times more intense than standard earthquake ⇒

   Magnitude of the earthquake =

∴ Magnitude of the earthquake is 1.
