Who made up the Richter Scale?
Charles Richter
Was the Richter scale made on purpose?
yes the Richter scale was made on purpose it was made because Charles Richter needed a way to find out how strong or weak a earthquake is at the time in which that is what it did.
Who made the Richter scale?
Developed in 1935 by Charles Richter in partnership with Beno Gutenberg
Why is the R in Richter scale capitalized?
Because it's Charles Richter's last name... He made the Richter Scale... The Richter Scale can only go up to a 9.9999999(continuous 9)... In Japan in March 2011 the earthquake was a 9.1... It was the 3rd largest earthquake on record
What is the accomplishment done by Charles Richter?
A accomplishment don by Charles Richter is the Richter scale made to know when an earthquake is coming.
Why did Charles Richter invent the Richter scale?
Charles Richter made it so it can measure the size of an earthquake.
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.
How has math and science made reporting earthquakes more accurate?
Math and science are both used to read and report the Richter scale. The Richter scale is used to measure earthquakes.
Who made the ricther scale?
The scale was devised by American geologist Charles W. Richter (1900-1985) in 1935.
Was the collapse of the Twin Towers on 91101 measured on a Richter scale?
No, the collapse of the Twin Towers on 9/11 was not measured on the Richter scale because the Richter scale is designed to measure the magnitude of earthquakes, not man-made events such as building collapses. However, the collapses did generate seismic waves that were recorded by seismographs in the area.
When was the Richter scale discovered?
The Richter scale for indicating the amount of seismic energy in an earthquake was developed by Charles Richter in collaboration with Beno Gutenberg in 1935 at the California Institute of Technology.
What is the most widely used measurement for earthquakes?
To measure earthquakes scientists use a machine called a seismometer. The answers are made public by using the Richter scale, which is a logarithmic scale ie an earthquake with a reading of 5 is 10 times worse than one with a reading of 4. A reading of up to 5 on the Richter scale is not too serious. A bit of shaking. A reading of 8 means serious damage A reading of 10 is a national disaster.
