A Richter scale measures the power of a earthquake
The Richter scale pf the Kobe earthquake is 7.2, and it corresponds to 11 on the Mercalli scale, as it measures the destruction of the earthquake.
An earthquake that was rated 3 on the Richter scale would beignored
The Richter scale is not a linear scale. This means that an earthquake of magnitude 6 does not have twice as destructive power as the earthquake of magnitude 3. Actually, an earthquake with magnitude 5 is ten times more destructive than an earthquake of magnitude 4. The Richter scale is a logarithmic scale.
a earthquake that measures 7.0 to 7.9 on a ritcher scale is called an sichuan earthquake

A Richter scale measures the power of a earthquake
Yes we still use the richtor scale today,, to find the force of the earthquake.
They use the Richter Scale.

The Richter Scale
The most commonly referred to scale by the press and the public is the Richter scale for measuring earthquake magnitude. However this was actually replaced in the 1970s by the Moment Magnitude scale which is the magnitude scale favoured and in use by seismologists.
the Richter scale is used to measure the power, strength of an earthquake
The Richter scale pf the Kobe earthquake is 7.2, and it corresponds to 11 on the Mercalli scale, as it measures the destruction of the earthquake.
They measure the amplitude of the L waves to rate the earthquake.
