Each increment in the Richter scale represents a ten-fold increase in the shaking magnitude of the earthquake.
In most countries, though, seismologists now use the moment magnitude scale. An increment of 1 on this scale represents a 101.5 fold increase in the energy released. 101.5 = sqrt(1000) = approx 32.

What is the pattern rule for this pattern 5-6-8-11-15-20?
The pattern rule for the given sequence is that each number is the sum of the previous number and a specific increment. In this case, the increment appears to be increasing by 1, then 2, then 3, then 4, and finally 5. So, the pattern rule can be expressed as: (n = n-1 + k), where (k) is the increment.
What number comes after 9100?
The number that comes after 9100 is 9101. In the base-10 number system, each digit can range from 0 to 9 before incrementing to the next place value. Therefore, when we increment the last digit of 9100 by 1, it becomes 9101.
What is the next number in this sequence 95 84 74 65 57 50?
The difference between each number is decreasing by 1 each time. Therefore, the difference between the final number and the next number in the sequence will be 6. Therefore, 50 - 6 = 44.
What is the difference in pence between 1 5th and 1 4th?
