- Imagine 2 locations, a snowy one, and a warm one. Both locations have a water vapor amount of 7 g/kg in the air. Which location is more humid percent-wise and why?According to the infographic above a recent magnitude 5.4 Earthquake was recorded. Earthquakes represent a release of energy as a result of the earth's tectonic plates. a) Determine the amount of energy release in ergs. b) Determine the energy release in Joules. ( Hint use the earthquake formula M = 2/3 log (E/ 10^11.8); where M is the earthquake magnitude and E is the energy of the earthquake in ergs (recall 1 erg = 10^-7 Joules)). c) Using the earthquake magnitude scale below to qualitatively categorize (was it Minor, Light, Moderate, Strong, Major or Great) and describe the earthquake (what kind of damage is expected from a magnitude 5.4 earthquake).What is the difference between mass of a cubic meter of gas at sea level and mass of a cubic meter of gas in Denver. Assume a isothermal atmosphere with T=295.
