This is known as the logarithmic scale and logs of 10 are used. Logs of 10 correspond to how many times 10 needs to be multiplied by itself to get the actual copy number. For example, if the viral ...

Magnitudes are based on a logarithmic scale (base 10). What this means is that for each whole number you go up on the magnitude scale, the amplitude of the ground motion recorded by a seismograph goes ...
