Question

If the intensities recorded for two different events of earthquake
on the ritcher scale are 3 and 7 respectively, how many times more
would be the amplitude in the latter case?

Dear student,

Each scale is 10 times greater than the previous one

Now there is a difference of 4 units between 7 and 3so the amplitude of 7 will be 10000 times greater than the amplitude of 3 units
