Earthquakes are given a number from one to ten, ten being the strongest. The strongest earthquake that their ever was, was measured a 9.3.

What is the most accurate measurement of an earthquake's magnitude?
The most accurate measurement of an earthquake's magnitude is typically determined using the moment magnitude scale, which takes into account the total energy released by an earthquake. This measurement provides a more accurate representation of an earthquake's size and severity compared to other scales like the Richter scale.
