Which statements describe the magnitude of an earthquake? check all that apply.

it is detected by a seismograph.
it is measured by the mercalli scale.
it is based on the size of seismic waves.
it is affected by the amount of fault movement.
it is used to determine damage caused by earthquakes.

the correct answers are :

1: It is detected by a seismograph.

3: It is based on the size of seismic waves.

4: It is affected by the amount of fault movement.

the body's situation won't change the forces are equal opposit and on the same body

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
