In principal all magnitude estimates for an EQ will be the same, without regard for the system used. In practice, differences occur, which can be useful. Just a quick question about magnitude and ground acceleration. I'm a bit confused about the relationship. Magnitude is a logarithmic statement about how big the EQ is.
Acceleration is a physical measure of the instantaneous motion at some point on the earth's surface.
It can be plotted on a map. It is directly proportional to the force felt by objects subjected to it. M between 8 and 9.5. My question kind of includes all of the quantitative facts that the study questions on the web are including. A few of the answers can be found in our notes, but I'm having trouble locating the majority of the answers.
