logarithmic scale
Richter scale
The Richter Scale measures the magnitude of an earthquake which is another way of describing the energy released in the earthquake.
No. The Richter's scale measures the magnitude or intensity of an earthquake on a scale up to ten.

Richter
A Richter scale measures the movement of the earths surface which happens during an earthquake.
The Richter Scale is what measures the ground motion from an earthquake.
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.
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.
It is the Richter Magnitude Scale.
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.
The Richter scale measures the strength of earthquakes. Bulgaria is a country, not an earthquake.
