I am totally LOST here: PLEASE Explain in detail and help me answer this...please.
Question: The magnitude M on the richter scale is given by the equation below where E is the energy released (in joules) and E base 0 = 10^4.4 joules. If the magnitude M of the 1906 San Fran quake was 8.2, how much energy was released in joules?
M= 2/3 log E/E base 0
Please help!
