A rating of 3 on the Richter scale indicates a small earthquake that is generally not felt by people but can be recorded by seismographs. Such earthquakes typically release a minor amount of energy and are often referred to as "micro" earthquakes. They usually do not cause any damage and are mostly of interest to seismologists.

What is the Richter scale of the earthquake in Haiti?
It reached 7.0 on the richter scale
How does the Richter scale know if there is an aftershock?
The Richter scale does not know anything. The Richter scale is a measurement of the magnitude of an earthquake. The numbers of the scale represent a quantifiable measurement or range of the strength.
What happens at the different point on a Richter scale?
A Richter scale judges the severity of an earthquake so the higher a quake is on the Richter scale, the worse it is and the worse the damage will be
When the measure of the intensity of an earthquake on the Richter scale goes up in magnitude by two what does it imply?
I assume that you mean the Richter scale and not richer scale. The Richter scale is a logarithmic (base 10) scale. An increase in magnitude of 2 represents an increase in amplitude by a factor of 100.
Place with the highest earthquake in Richter scale in 2010?
The place with the highest magnitude on the Richter scale took place in the Solomon Islands on January 3, 2010. Luckily, no fatalities were recorded.
What does the Richter scale for tsunamis mean?
The Richter scale is a measure of the intensity of earthquakes. It does not indicate how large a tsunami will be.

How do you use Richter Scale in a sentence?
My rebuilt engine is about 7.5 on the Richter scale! Yesterday's earthquake read 3.2 on the Richter scale. The Richter scale was developed in the 1930s.
What is a numerical scale used to express the strength of an earthquake?
Richter scale
What is the Rictor scale?
I believe you meant the Richter scale. It is a scale used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes based on the amplitude of seismic waves. The Richter scale is logarithmic, meaning each whole number increase represents a tenfold increase in amplitude and approximately 31.6 times more energy released.
The Pompeii earthquake on the Richter scale?

No. The Richter Scale rates the intensity of earthquakes. There is not intensity scale for tsunamis.
