Compare the amounts of energy released by a 6.5 earthquake in the Philippines and the 9.5 earthquake in Chile.About how much more energy did the earthquake in Chile release?



A.

32,750 times

B.

1,000,000 times

C.

1020 times

D.

96 times

Respuesta :

Answer:

Extra energy released = 96 times

Explanation:

Given:

6.5 to 9.5

Find:

More energy released

Computation:

The seismic energy emitted raises by around 32 times for every thought the entire rise in a number magnitude.

So,

Extra energy released = [9.5 - 6.5]32

Extra energy released = [3]32

Extra energy released = 96 times
