(10pts) The Richter scale gives the magnitude of an earthquake by the formula M = log © ; where l is the intensity of the earthquake, and S is the intensity of a standard earthquake. (A standard earthquake has a seismographic amplitude of 104 cm, or a magnitude of zero.) The 2011 earthquake off the coast of Honshu Japan had a magnitude of 9.0 on the Richter scale. The Alaska earthquake of 1964 had a magnitude of 8.6 on the Richter scale. How many times more intense was the Honshu quake compared to the Alaska quake?
