There are two main ways to measure earthquakes. One is the Richter scale, which directly measures the energy released by the earthquakes. It's logarithmic, with each increasing order of magnitude being several times larger than the previous one. Seismographs are used for these measurements. Another way of measuring the physical impact of an Earthquake is the Mercalli scale, which is based on damage and other changes to the surrounding environment. They both have their uses and are very effective.
