Three sites (L1, L2, L3) record earthquake magnitude and earthquake intensity for the same earthquake. L1 is located closest to the focus and L3 is farthest away. Where is the intensity greatest, and what happens to the earthquake magnitude calculated at the different sites?

Three sites (L1, L2, L3) record earthquake magnitude and earthquake intensity for the same earthquake. L1 is located closest to the focus and L3 is farthest away. Where is the intensity greatest, and what happens to the earthquake magnitude calculated at the different sites?

  • Intensity is greatest at L1; calculated magnitude is the same at each site.
  • Intensity is greatest at L1; calculated magnitude decreases with distance from the focus.
  • Intensity is greatest at L3; calculated magnitude is the same for each site.
  • Intensity is greatest at L3; calculated magnitude decreases with distance from the focus.

Match the type of atomic bond with the correct definition

A) Valence electrons are free to move from one atom to another so all atoms share available valence electrons, creating an electron "sea." B) Incomplete transfer of electrons that results in atoms partially transferring and partially sharing electrons. C) One atom gives up one or more valence electrons to another atom. D) Chemical bonds created by sharing a pair of electrons between atoms. 1) Ionic bond 2) Covalent bond 3) Metallic bond 4) Hybrid bond
