Is a negative or positive number the strongest?
The term strongest does not really apply here. It really depends on the context. -30 is much colder than -2, so in this case the more negative, the "stronger" the implication. If we were talking about a bank balance, $5 is better than $1, so here the more positive number is the "stronger" one. Just think of negative and positive numbers as all living on the same spectrum, but just on different sides of zero, or what we use to denote the absence of anything.
How much is a sleep number bed?
A sleep number bed costs about as much as a regular bed
How much does a number exceed a number?
5,000/mm3.
What are some whole numbers that round to 66000?
This would depend on how much you are rounding to. If you are rounding to the nearest hundred then the answer could be a number like 66048. However, if you are rounding to the nearest 1 then the answer could be a number like 66000.4.
What does it mean to replace number with a number that tells about how many or how much?
What is it called to replace a number that tells about how many or how much
How much stronger is a 9.0 than a 4.0 of an earthquake?
A LOT stronger. The force of an earthquake is expressed using a log 10 scale of energy. A 5.0 earthquake is 10 times stronger than a 4.0, a 6.0 is 10 times stronger than a 5.0, and so on. 9 is the highest number on the scale, and would be a "Great" earthquake, as opposed to minor, moderate, strong or major. Total destruction of man-made structures, etc.
How strong is a 7.9 earthquake from 4.6 earthquake?
A 7.9 earthquake is significantly stronger than a 4.6 earthquake. The magnitude of an earthquake is measured on a logarithmic scale, meaning each whole number increase represents a tenfold increase in amplitude. Therefore, a 7.9 earthquake is much more powerful and destructive than a 4.6 earthquake.
How much stronger is an 8.8 than a 7.0 earthquake?
An 8.8 earthquake is approximately 63 times stronger than a 7.0 earthquake in terms of energy release. The Richter scale is logarithmic, so each whole number increase represents a tenfold increase in amplitude and a 31.6 times increase in energy release.
Is A Richter and Moment Magnitude 8 earthquake twice as large as a Richter or Moment Magnitude 4 earthquake?
No, the Richter or Moment Magnitude scale is logarithmic, meaning that each whole number increase represents approximately 31.6 times more energy release. Therefore, an 8.0 earthquake releases about 1000 times more energy than a 4.0 earthquake.
How much stronger is a 8.0 earthquake than a 5.0 earthquake?
400 Times ___________________ The above may very well be correct; my understanding is that every whole number up represents about a 10-fold increase in energy of a quake. One would conclude that the quake of rating 8 is 10,000 times stronger than a quake of 4. ___________________ 10,000 times is the correct answer
How much stronger is a 7.1 earthquake compared to a 7.0 earthquake?
A 7.1 earthquake is approximately 10 times stronger in terms of energy release compared to a 7.0 earthquake. The Richter scale is logarithmic, meaning each whole number increase represents a tenfold increase in amplitude and roughly 31.6 times more energy released.
How much stronger is 6.6 earthquake than an 8.3 earthquake?
An 8.3 earthquake is significantly stronger than a 6.6 earthquake. Each whole number increase on the Richter scale represents a tenfold increase in the amplitude of seismic waves, meaning an 8.3 earthquake releases exponentially more energy than a 6.6 earthquake.
How much stronger is a magnitude 8 earthquake than a magnitude 6?
A magnitude 8 earthquake is 1,000 times stronger than a magnitude 6 earthquake in terms of energy released. It can cause significantly more damage and have a larger impact on structures and the environment.
How much stronger was the Chile earthquake than the one in Haiti?
The earthquake in Chile in 2010 had a magnitude of 8.8, while the one in Haiti in 2010 had a magnitude of 7.0. This means that the Chile earthquake was significantly stronger, with its impact reflecting the difference in magnitude.
How much stronger was the 1946 earthquake than the 2010 earthquake?
Well the 1946 earthquake to my knowledge was 8.0 in magnitude but the 20010 was was only 7.0 so in fact the 1946 earthquake was stronger, but the media coverage may not have been as large which is why people may be under the illusion that the 2010 earthquake was stronger, it is one of the positive consequences of the Internet transmitting information that we can learn about these disasters quicker to send help especially to less economically developed countries.
How much greater is a magnitude 7.0 earthquake over a 6.0 earthquake?
The magnitude of an earthquake is measured on a logarithmic scale, so a magnitude 7.0 earthquake is 10 times stronger than a magnitude 6.0 earthquake in terms of the energy released. This means that the amplitude of ground shaking in a magnitude 7.0 earthquake would be significantly greater than in a magnitude 6.0 earthquake.
Who is stronger cat or human being comapre to they size?
Cats would be much much stronger if we would be as small as them
