7. On the accompanying Richter scale diagram, first determine the Richter magnitude (M?) for an earthquake at 400 kilometers distance, with a maximum amplitude of 0.5 millimeter. Second, for this same earthquake (same M?) determine the amplitude of the biggest waves for a seismograph 40 kilometers from the hypocenter.
