How are earthquake magnitude and intensity measured?
Earthquake magnitude is measured using a number of differing scales including the Richter scale, the moment magnitude scale and the surface magnitude scale. Intensity is measured using he Modified Mercalli intensity scale.
Define Richter Scale?
- The magnitude of an earthquake can be measured on a scale called Richter scale.- A Richter scale assigns a number each earthquake. This is also known as the Richter magnitude scale.

What is the magnitude based on the Richter Scael of Popocatepetl?
An earthquake is measured by a seismometer to determine its magnitude on the Richter Scale. The Richter is based on a base 10 logarithm. The scale defines magnitude by a logirithm of the ratio of the amplitude of seismic waves.

What are earthquakes measured?
The strength of an earthquake is measured on the Richter scale. The Richter scale is logarithmic, meaning that if the earthquake's strength increases by 1 on the Richter scale, it is 10 times more powerful, e.g. an earthquake measuring 5.0 is 10x more powerful than an earthquake measuring 4.0. The strength of an earthquake is measured using a seismograph which measures the vibrations in the ground.
