What were the major effects of the cambodia earthquake, and how do these effects compare to the Rat Islands earthquake in 1965?
That's interesting. How do scientists measure the magnitude of earthquakes?
The magnitude of an earthquake is determined using the Richter scale, which measures the amplitude of the seismic waves produced by the earthquake. The Richter scale is a logarithmic scale, meaning that each integer increase in magnitude corresponds to a tenfold increase in the amplitude or energy of the earthquake.
