it can reach up to 10
The instrument that is used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake is a seismometer.
No. Mount Etna started erupting about 500,000 years ago, which is a rather short time on a geologic scale.
The two most important eruptions of Mt. Etna are the ones in 1669 and in 2001.
The strength of an earthquake is measured using a seismic scale called the moment magnitude scale (Mw). It calculates the total energy released by an earthquake by measuring the amplitude of seismic waves. The scale is logarithmic, meaning that each whole number increase represents a tenfold increase in magnitude and roughly 31.6 times more energy released.

it can reach up to 10
do you mean the richter scale?If so, the richter scale is a scale ranging from 1 to 1o that is used to determine the magnitude of an earthquake.
=Mount Etna had an average of 6.8 on the rector scale.=
it depends on the strength which can be determined on the rictor scale
The spelling of the historic scale for earthquakes is Richter, for Charles Francis Richter (1900-1985). There is a fictional character named Rictor in the X-men comics.
and earhtquake scoring 8.9 on the rictor scale triggered the tsunami
a device called a rictor scale is used
The size of an earthquake is measured on the Ricter scale it can also be measured on the Mercalli scale.For an example the 2008 earthquake in China was 7.8 on the Rictor scale and in was XI on the Mercalli scale
