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

A seismograph is an instrument used to measure the strength of earthquakes.
The Richter scale and Magnitude
yes it is
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.

A type of geophysicist known as a seismologist measures the strength of earthquakes.
The Richter scale is used to measure the strength of earthquakes.
Earthquakes are measured using the Richter scale, which assigns a magnitude value to indicate the strength of the earthquake. The units of magnitude used to measure earthquakes are logarithmic and are represented by whole numbers, such as 1, 2, 3, and so on.
