Q:Q: What scale measures the total energy released by an earthquake? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: The moment magnitude scale is the favored method of measuring earthquake magnitudes. It measures the total energy released by an earthquake. Moment magnitude is calculated by two things. One is the length of the fault break. The other is the distance the ground moves along the fault. Choices: - moment radiation scale - direct magnitude scale - moment identification scale - moment magnitude scale A:
A:
moment magnitude scale
