What are Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences? A sequence is a group of numbers, called terms, arranged in a specific order. Arithmetic Sequences. Arithmetic sequences have a common difference. In other words the same value is added or subtracted from term to term. Example: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 (common difference is +2)
The Kelvin temperature scale is useful because scientists around the world use it as a temperature scale so that they don't have to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit or vise versa â¦ .
While there are many modern scales used to calculate the magnitude, the most common is the moment magnitude, which allows for more precise measurements of large earthquakes than the Richter scale.
