No. The Richter scale is a way for scientists to describe how much energy was released by an earthquake (this is known as the earthquakes magnitude).
What else can I help you with?
Do you measure earthquakes with Richter scale or the Mercalli scale?
The Richter scale
What scale gives the intensity of earthquakes?
Richter scale is used to measure earthquakes magnitude Shake intensity is measured on the Mercalli scale
Have tsunamis scale of Richter?
No. The Richter Scale rates the intensity of earthquakes. There is not intensity scale for tsunamis.
How are earthquakes gauged?
Earthquakes are gauged by the Richter scale.
What is the name of the scale that you measure earthquakes?

What do you weigh on a Richter scale?

Is there a scale for the severity of the tsunami?
The scale for a Tsunami is a Richter Scale. The Richter Scale is a scale that measures earthquakes, and Tsunamis are normally made by earthquakes. But be careful, because Tsunamis are normally formed by 6.5's or greater on the Richter Scale. -I hope I helped Actually, the Richter Scale is invalid, and we do not use it any more. The scale we use today is the MMS, or Moment Magnitude Scale. In the MMS, every point up the scale (Which goes from 1-10), multiplies it's magnitude by 30.
What measures the intensity of earthquakes in terms of isotherms the Richter scale the Celsius scale or barometric pressure?
Richter scale
Who is Charles Francis Richter?
Charles Francis Richter was an American seismologist who developed the Richter scale in 1935 for measuring the magnitude of earthquakes. The Richter scale is logarithmic and measures the amplitude of seismic waves recorded on seismographs. Richter's work revolutionized the way earthquakes are measured and classified.
