Richter scale Use the formula
in Problems 59-62. (Source: Earthquake data from the U.S. Geological Survey.)
The most devastating earthquake since 2000 was the Haiti quake in 2010 that measured 7.0 on the Richter scale and resulted in more than 222,500 deaths, 300,000 injuries, and 1.3 million displaced persons. The largest quake that year was the 8.8 quake that struck offshore Maule, Chile. How many times more intense was the quake in Chile?
