Select the correct answer. The Richter scale measures the magnitude, \( M \) , of an earthquake as a function of its intensity, \( I \) , and the intensity of a reference earthquake, \( I _ { 0 } \) . \( M = \log ( \frac { I } { I _ { 0 } } ) \) Which equation calculates the magnitude of an earthquake with an intensity \( 10,000 \) times that of the reference earthquake? A. \( M = \log ( \frac { 10,000 } { I _ { 0 } } ) \) B. \( M = \log ( \frac { I } { 10,000 } ) \) C. \( M = \log ( \frac { 1 } { 10,000 } ) \) D. \( M = \log ( 10,000 ) \)
