The Richter Scale measures earthquake intensity, not tornado intensity
No. The Richter scale (since replaced by the Moment Magnitude scale) was used to measure earthquake intensity. The Fujita scale (now the Enhanced Fujita scale in the U.S.) is used to rate tornadoes.
Charles Richter invented the Richter scale.the Richter scales tells how bad i earth quake is on a scale of 1-10Charles Francis Richter, (April 26, 1900 - September 30, 1985) was an American seismologist and physicist.Richter is the creator of the Richter magnitude scale which quantified the size of earthquakes.
by scale called the fujita scale or (enhanced fujita scale) to measure intensity or strength of a tornado based on the severity of damage.
The Fujita scale is also known as the 'F Scale' it measures the strength of a tornado on a scale of F-0 to F-5. F5 is the strongest and most damaging
Yes. The Fujita scale uses the damage a tornado does to determine its intensity and assign a rating on a scale ranging from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest.
The Richter scale is for earthquakes, not tornadoes. Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale. The largest tornado ever recorded was the 2.6 mile wide monster that hit near El Reno, Oklahoma in 2013. However, size does not necessarily correspond to a tornado's rating. Ratings are based on the severity of the damage a tornado inflicts. The El Reno tornado was officially rated EF3 but there are some indicators that it may have reached EF5 intensity, the highest rating possible.

The Richter scale
My rebuilt engine is about 7.5 on the Richter scale! Yesterday's earthquake read 3.2 on the Richter scale. The Richter scale was developed in the 1930s.

The Richter scale uses Arabic numerals.
It reached 7.0 on the richter scale
4-5 on the Richter scale.
No. The Richter Scale rates the intensity of earthquakes. There is not intensity scale for tsunamis.
The scale of Richter scale is 10. It calculates the earthquake on a scale of 10.
