which statement describes the richter scale?\nit cannot account for fault movement during an earthquake.\nit measures large earthquakes far from the seismograph.\nit estimates the total energy released from an earthquake.\nit measures magnitude based on the size of seismic waves.

which statement describes the richter scale?\nit cannot account for fault movement during an earthquake.\nit measures large earthquakes far from the seismograph.\nit estimates the total energy released from an earthquake.\nit measures magnitude based on the size of seismic waves.

Answer

Brief Explanations:

La escala de Richter es una escala que mide la magnitud de un terremoto basándose en el tamaño de las ondas sísmicas registradas por los sismógrafos. No mide la energía total liberada (ese es el enfoque de otras escalas como la escala de momento - magnitud), y no tiene problemas en relacionarse con el movimiento de fallas. También no está específicamente diseñada para medir solo terremotos lejanos a los sismógrafos.

Answer:

It measures magnitude based on the size of seismic waves.
