What are all of the scales for measuring earthquakes?

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.


What are the differences between rossi-forel and ritcher scale?

The Rossi-Forel scale measures the intensity of earthquakes based on observed effects on people, buildings, and the environment, ranging from I (not felt) to X (widespread destruction). The Richter scale measures the magnitude of earthquakes based on the energy released by the quake, using a logarithmic scale with each whole number increase representing a tenfold increase in amplitude of seismic waves.
