Solve the problem.
-If an earthquake measured $5.9$ on the Richter scale, what was the approximate intensity of the earthquake in terms of $\mathrm { I } _ { 0 }$ ? Intensity on the Richter scale is $\log _ { 10 } \left( \mathrm { I } / \mathrm { I } _ { 0 } \right)$ .

A) $360 \mathrm { I } 0$
B) $79,000 \mathrm { I } _ { 0 }$
C) $630,000 \mathrm { I } _ { 0 }$
D) $790,000 \mathrm { I } _ { 0 }$
