The Richter Scale is used for measuring the magnitude of earthquakes. the magnitude of an earthquake is, by deifnition, measured 100 kilometers from its originating point, and is given by the equation M = log(s/10^-4), where S is the "strength" of the earthquake, as determined by the shockwaves it sends through the ground. Earthquake strengths vary greatly from 0 in some cases to 800,000,000 or more in other cases which is why a logarithmic scale is used to measure their magnitudes. (I already know Part A) Part B Suppose a given earthquake is twice as strong as another earthquake. Determine the difference in magnitude of these earthquakes.
