Explanation

• The magnitude of an earthquake is measured by the Richter scale.
• It measures the energy released by an earthquake.
• The Richter scale was developed in 1935 by Charles F. Richter.
• It is used in seismology (the study of earthquakes).

Explanation

Surface area = 4πr², Volume = 4/3πr³.  

Surface area is just derivative of volume w.r.t r.

2πr is circumference of a circle, not volume at all.
