Depends on it's magnitude which can range. Seisometers are used to measure the Magnitude of an earthquake. Magnitude is it's strength.

The Richter scale and Magnitude
yes it is
The Richter scale is used to measure the strength of earthquakes.
A type of geophysicist known as a seismologist measures the strength of earthquakes.
Earthquake strength is measured using a magnitude scale. For small to moderate strength Earthquakes (< magnitude 7) the Richter scale is used. For Earthquakes between 7 and 8 the body and surface magnitude scales are used and for earthquakes larger than 8, the moment magnitude scale is used.
