James is researching earthquakes for a science report. He is trying to come up with his own
scale to rank the intensity of an earthquake.
He notices that the difference in the intensity
of the smallest earthquake, x, and the largest
earthquake, y, is a magnitude of several
hundred thousand. James comes up with a
scale that allows him to show these
differences and is easy to use and interpret.
