The standard units used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes are the Richter scale and the moment magnitude scale.

Earthquake measure
The Rickter (RICK-tur) scale has been popular for decades to measure the intensity of earthquakes, yet it had its issues. These days the Mercalli scale is most often used by geologists and vulcanologists.
