Magnitude 7.8 earthquake wreaks havoc in Turkey-Syria, killing more than 100

According to preliminary details, a strong earthquake occurred in Turkey-Syria today at 4:17 am. In which more than 100 people died painfully, many buildings collapsed.

An earthquake of magnitude 7.8 shook Turkey and Syria today. Due to which South East Turkey and Syria have suffered huge losses. 100 people have died so far due to the earthquake in both the countries. Many buildings have also collapsed in both Turkey and Syria. Hence, the death toll is still likely to rise. (Read More: Magnitude 7.8 earthquake wreaks havoc in Turkey-Syria, killing more than 100)

Charles Richter was born on April 26, 1900. An American seismologist and physicist. Richter is most famous as the creator of the Richter magnitude scale, which, until the development of the moment magnitude scale in 1979, quantified the size of earthquakes. Inspired by Kiyoo Wadati's 1928 paper on shallow and deep earthquakes, Richter first used the scale in 1935 after developing it in collaboration with Beno Gutenberg.

Curiosidades sobre a Escala Richter-Gutenberg:

* É uma escala logarítmica de base 10;

*É uma função do primeiro grau, cresce em múltiplo de 10, e a magnitude está em função da energia de propagação dos Ábalos sísmicos;

*Sua unidade de medida é o Joule;

*Foi criada no período da Segunda Guerra Mundial, pela dupla de físicos Beno Gutenberg e Charles Francis Richter.

she’s a 10, but only on the Richter scale

so bc i am a Gross Dude my friends i and sometimes rate our burps and my coworker (who is a teen girl) burped in front of me once and i instinctively rated it

so now every time she burps she looks to me hopefully for a rating and bc she has delicate little baby burps i now have to create an entirely new Burp Rating System unique to her bc i rate anything below a 5 and she looks at me like this

The #Richter scale and how #earthquakes are measured #Science #geology

When an earthquake strikes, it is assigned a rating on the Richter scale. The recent Sea of Japan earthquake was assigned a rating of 7.6, but what does this mean and how much more powerful is an earthquake with a rating beginning with a 7 than one with a six? The Richter scale was devised by Charles Richter and Otto Gutenberg in 1935, after the duo collaborated to produce a standardised scale…

Much closer than any previous tremor, essentially on their doorstep: 4.2 on the Richter scale.

HAHAHAHAHHA ME N YOU AND REM HAVING MELTDOWNS OVER SUGURU IN LINGERIE<3333333 ALSO SUGU IN HEELS?????? YOUR MIND🤯🤯🤯🤯 I NEED HIM SO BADLY I NEED HIM LIKE AIR LIKE WATER - @teddybeartoji

NO LIKE MICKEY I LITERALLLLLLLLY HAVE THOUGHT ABT THIS INSTANCE SO MANY TIMES AND REM PUTTING IT ON THE DASH??? HER MIND………… listen. suguru is sooooo sexy and SO comfortable in his sexuality and he KNOWS he looks stunning in everything so he just wears skirts and crop tops and dresses bc who’s gonna tell him not to??? he knows he’s eating everybody up… (need to fight him actually bc why are you outshining me rn… 🤨)

BUT HIM IN LINGERIE??? A SATIN ROBE??? HEELS??? him stepping on me??? yeah i’d moan loud as hell… edit: imagine him in latex w a riding crop……. Lord Have Mercy

This side of the drawing is finished. I've got one more to do and I think I'll be ready to start the actual model

Aaaaa I keep forgetting what I have and have not posted yet, so here’s something I definitely haven’t shared. I made a couple sprites of other Belmonts as NES sprites :3. Kinda an art style study I guess, it was fun! I think some of them could use some tweaking tho tbh, especially since I’m not sure if they actually line up with the NES 256 color palette, I just guessed. But yeah :3. Some dudes!

My biggest geology pet peeve isn't when people say "dirt" instead of "soil", though I have known many geologists and soil scientists who get very upset about it.

No, it's when people say an earthquake was a magnitude of so and so on the Richter Scale. Richter Magnitude is actually outdated and has limitations, particularly for large earthquakes (which I won't get into). The standard used by the vast majority of seismologists is now the Moment Magnitude. There may be some stray incidences of Richter being used, particularly for a small earthquake, but nowadays the value reported is almost always Moment Magnitude.

And yet!

The news and everyone and their mother continues to call it the Richter Scale! It's not! Especially if it's a big earthquake (which ones on the news typically are), it's the Moment Magnitude!

...And that's my biggest geology pet peeve.

sometimes i wonder what youre doing over there in the dark. it feels like youre trying to soccer kick god in complete silence. should i help? or is this something you need to do alone?

18 might take out the moon too, and I'm not talking flying chunks of the former planet earth it'd get hit by some vibrations even with the lack of air.
