Which statement describes the Richter scale? It cannot account for fault movement during an earthquake.
It measures large earthquakes far from the seismograph.
It estimates the total energy released from an earthquake.
It increases in magnitude as amount of damage increases.

It estimates the total energy released from an earthquake

It measures large earthquakes far from the seismograph.

It increases in magnitude as amount of damage increases.

Explanation:

The Richter magnitude scale calculates the magnitude of an earthquake. It uses a seismograph to measure earthquakes far from the seismograph where seismic waves are used to determine the magnitude of an earthquake.

A Richter scale reading of 2.0 is considered not to be dangerous, whereas a reading of between 8.0 and 9.8 is considered a catastrophe and can cause destruction on a massive scale.

A Richter scale can also estimate the total energy released from an earthquake through the measurement of the amplitude of the seismic wave.

It increases in magnitude as amount of damage increases

hello

answer: collecting information/data

reason: the student is going around and asking people questions to collect data

i hope this
