I’m 2009, an earthquake hit costa rica, registering a 6.1 on the richter scale. what was the intensity of this earthquake, assuming the reference value was 1?

( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

The magnitude equation of an earthquake in richter scale is,

Where, I represents the intensity of the earthquake,

represents the reference intensity of the earthquake,

Given, R = 6.1,

By substituting the values in the above equation,

Taking exponent on both side,

$30.32

step-by-step explanation:

65.00*.12=2.80

65.00-2.80=57.20

57.20*1.06=60.632

60.632/2=30.316
