Properties of some particular solutions 10. Fig. 1. Phase diagram for water-sucrose solutions at 100 kPa. Glucose has a solubility of 47%wt in water at 15 ÂºC (i.e. up to 890 g of glucose can be dissolved in 1 kg of. pure water, or 570 kg/m3 in solution). Lactose can be dissolved up to 150 g/kg of pure water.
Where was the biggest earthquake ever recorded? Scientists give earthquakes a magnitude rating based on the strength and duration of their seismic waves. A quake measuring 3 to 5 is considered minor or light; 5 to 7 is moderate to strong; 7 to 8 is major; and 8 or more is great. The largest quake ever recorded was near Valdivia, in southern Chile on May 22, 1960. It was measured at a magnitude of 9.5, lasted for 10 minutes and triggered a tsunami. Estimates of the number killed by the natural disaster in Chile vary between 1,000 and 6,000. The deadliest, and second largest, earthquake ever recorded struck the island of Sumatra in Indonesia in 2004. The magnitude 9.3 quake triggered a catastrophic tsunami in the Indian Ocean which is believed to have killed more than 280,000 people in several countries.
Intro As massive and deadly as Japan's recent magnitude 9.0 earthquake was, it's not the world's biggest recorded quake. It is Japan's largest quake, but dating back to 1900, four other earthquakes of magnitude 9.0 or greater have ruptured across the globe, according to data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). We countdown the top 10 biggest recorded earthquakes in the world.
