Find magnitude of ground displacement and energy released

Reference no: EM13322445

An earthquake with a magnitude 6.5 on the Richter scale is producing a ground displacement of 50 mm at a particular location and the energy released by the earthquake is "E". Determine the magnitude of ground displacement and energy released if an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.5 hits the same location
