there is 1 currently used but past years they have used two diffrent scales the Mercalli scale (Early in the twentieth century) the The Richter (1930s-1980s) and now currently The Moment Magnitude Scale some news channel refer the moment magnitude scale as the Richter scale but they are two diffrent things hopes this helps
As a basis of comparison to a known standard. This helps in better understanding the nature of earthquakes over a long period of time.

The device used for measuring earthquakes is called a seismometer.

Yes. Greece had and has many earthquakes often.

The amount of earthquakes would be 4.
Scales work by measuring things. Thermometer scales work by measuring the temperature of the air and certain liquids for example.
Mercalli and Richter scales
1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10
They are scales for measuring temperature.
The main scales for measuring earthquakes are the Richter scale, the moment magnitude scale, and the Mercalli intensity scale. The Richter scale measures the amplitude of seismic waves, the moment magnitude scale considers the total energy released by an earthquake, and the Mercalli intensity scale measures the intensity of shaking and its effects on people and structures.
