The Richter scale is based on measurements of *Amplitude*. (^_^)
What else can I help you with?
The Richter scale is based on measurements of the of a seismic wave?
yes , its is
How many measurements of Richter scale of tsunami?
The Richter scale was created solely for the purpose of measuring earthquakes, not tsunamis.
The Richter scale measurements what of an earthquake?
The Richter scale measures the magnitude of an earthquake which is another way of describing the energy released in the earthquake.
What is the moment magnitude scale based on?
The Richter scale
Which two Richter scale magnitude measurements differ by a factor of 10?
5.0
What is the magnitude based on the Richter Scael of Popocatepetl?
An earthquake is measured by a seismometer to determine its magnitude on the Richter Scale. The Richter is based on a base 10 logarithm. The scale defines magnitude by a logirithm of the ratio of the amplitude of seismic waves.
What scale based on the height of the lines traced by a seismograph?
Richter Scale .
What kind of scale is the Richter scale based on?
The Richter Scale—more appropriately called the magnitude scale—is one means of expressing the magnitude of an earthquake (i.e., the amount of energy released).
Why are Richter scales called Richter Scales?
Richter scales are named after Charles F. Richter, an American seismologist who developed the scale in 1935. The scale measures the magnitude of earthquakes based on the amplitude of seismic waves recorded on seismographs.
Compare Richter Scale from Rossi-Forrel Scale?
The Richter Scale measures the magnitude of an earthquake based on the amplitude of seismic waves, while the Rossi-Forel Scale measures the intensity of an earthquake based on observed effects. The Richter Scale is quantitative and logarithmic, whereas the Rossi-Forel Scale is qualitative and descriptive. The Richter Scale is more commonly used by seismologists, while the Rossi-Forel Scale is typically used by non-experts to describe the effects of an earthquake.
Do you measure earthquakes with Richter scale or the Mercalli scale?
The Richter scale
How does the Richter scale differ from the Marcalli intensity scale?
The Richter scale measures the magnitude of an earthquake based on the amplitude of seismic waves, while the Mercalli intensity scale evaluates the intensity of shaking and damage at a specific location. The Richter scale provides a quantitative measure, while the Mercalli scale is more qualitative and descriptive.
