Want this question answered?
The rating system used to estimate the total energy released by an earthquake is the Moment Magnitude Scale.
The magnitude of the 2010 Haiti earthquake on the Richter scale was 7.0
The instrument that is used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake is a seismometer.
7.0 on the Moment Magnitude Scale.
The Richter Scale, which reads the movement and level (magnitude) of an earthquake.
It is the Richter Magnitude Scale.
The rating system used to estimate the total energy released by an earthquake is the Moment Magnitude Scale.
Maby you should find the answer on anothr website.
The Richter Scale
They use the Richter scale to measure magnitude and Moment Measure to measure energy released.
The magnitude of the 2010 Haiti earthquake on the Richter scale was 7.0
The Richter scale is not a linear scale. This means that an earthquake of magnitude 6 does not have twice as destructive power as the earthquake of magnitude 3. Actually, an earthquake with magnitude 5 is ten times more destructive than an earthquake of magnitude 4. The Richter scale is a logarithmic scale.
The Richter Scale measures the magnitude of an earthquake which is another way of describing the energy released in the earthquake.

Earthquake magnitudes are rated using the moment magnitude scale. Moderate and small earthquakes (those with a magnitude below 7) are also measured using the Richter scale. Please see the related question for more information.
An earthquake's magnitude is a measure of how strong it is
Richter scale measures the magnitude of earthquakes.
