<u>Answer</u>: b. 10 times weaker than the Great Chilean.

<u>Explanation</u> :

  • <em> Richter scale</em> is a numerical scale which is used to express the magnitude of an earthquake based on the seismograph recordings of the amplitude of the highest seismic wave.
  • The Richter scale is a<em> base-10 logarithmic scale.</em>
  • A base 10 logarithmic scale implies that each order of magnitude is <em>10 times greater than the previous one. </em>
  • Thus, even though 8.5 and 9.5 differ by a value of 1, the fact the scale is logarithmic with base 10 this means that Great Chilean earthquake is 10 times stronger than the earthquake on Kuril islands.
  • Thus, the <em>Kuril island earthquake is 10 times weaker than the Chilean earthquake.</em>
