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. which equation represents the magnitude of an earthquake that is 10 times more intense than a standard earthquake? a. m=logi/10sb. m=log(10s)(it was c i just turned it in)c. m=log10s/sd. m=log10/s

The required equation is i.e. M = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Magnitude of an earthquake is defined as ,

where I is the intensity of the earthquake measured on seismograph and S is the intensity of the standard earthquake.

Since, it is given that,

The intensity of an earthquake measured is 10 times more than that of the standard earthquake.

i.e. I = 10S

So, we get,

Magnitude of an earthquake is ,

i.e. Magnitude of an earthquake is ,

i.e. Magnitude of an earthquake is M = 1.

Hence, the required equation is i.e. M = 1.
