No. The scale you are describing is an intensity scale such as the modified Mercalli scale. The Richter scale is in fact a magnitude scale which describes the amount of energy released by an earthquake.

Richter scale
4-5 on the Richter scale.
It reached 7.0 on the richter scale
The scale of Richter scale is 10. It calculates the earthquake on a scale of 10.
No. The Richter Scale rates the intensity of earthquakes. There is not intensity scale for tsunamis.
The scale used to measure the strength of an earthquake is called the Richter scale
