A magnitude 4.9 earthquake struck Quezon province early Tuesday morning, December 22, 2020, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology reported. Phivolcs says the tectonic earthquake's epicenter was about 20 kilometers northwest of General Nakar town in Quezon, with a depth of 15 kilometers (shallow earthquake), which occurred at 2:14 a.m. If a seismograph station is suitated exaclty 100km from the epicenter (that gives you a 0.9 degrees angular epicentral distance), determine a.) the peak amplitude recorded in the seismogram if Richter magnitude scale was used. b.) the peak surface wave amplitude recorded in the seismogram if surface wave magnitude scale was used
