A Richter scale measures the 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.
Which scale provides intensity maps of earthquake damage?
The seismic scale that measures the intensity of earthquake damage is called the Mercalli intensity scale. This scale measures the effect an earthquake has on people and surroundings.
What scale is described for damage in an earthquake?
Technically, you can't tell damage from the Richter Scale, because the Richter Scale rating of an earthquake stays the same no mater how far out you go from the epicenter. The scale that measures the damage of an earthquake (meaning the scale rating gets lower the further you go from the epicenter) is called the Mercalli Scale. The Mercalli Scale goes from II to XII (2 to 12) and the rating on the Mercalli Scale in which damage starts to occur is about 6. However, if you are going by the Richter Scale, damage at the epicenter would start at about 5.0
What magnitude scale measures ground motion?
The Richter Scale is what measures the ground motion from an earthquake.
What does a Richter scale measures what of earthquake?
intensity
Which scale measures an earthquake's strength?
Richter
Does the Richter scale measure how deep an earthquake is?
No. The Richter's scale measures the magnitude or intensity of an earthquake on a scale up to ten.
What was the rating of the 2011 earthquake?
8.9 on the Richter scale.
What it measured on the Richter scale?
The Richter scale measures the magnitude of seismic waves produced by an earthquake, which provides an estimate of the energy released at the earthquake's source. A higher Richter scale number indicates a stronger earthquake.
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.
The ritcher scale measures?
The Ritcher Scale is used to measure earthquake strength.
Which earthquake recorded at the highest rating on the Richter scale in the 20th century?
actually, the highest rating was an earthquake in Chili, coming in on a 9.5
