Answer and Explanation:
A 1.5 earthquake on the Richter scale is 15 times stronger than a level 0 earthquake. This is because the Richter scale is a logarithmic scale making a number on the scale symbolize an intensity 10 times greater than the previous number on the scale.
An earthquake measuring 1.5 on the Richter scale has tremors that are captured only by seismographs.
