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
There are two The Richter Scale and the Moment Scale.
It reached 7.0 on the richter scale
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.
the Richter scale measures earthquakes...i learned that in science! we were learning about earthquakes. the moment magnitude scale also measures earthquakes but in a different way...that was a fun unit:D
A seismograph is used to measure ground movement or vibrations on the Richter scale.
A Richter scale measures the movement of the earths surface which happens during an earthquake.
different scales
There are two The Richter Scale and the Moment Scale.
Charles Richter developed the Richter scale in collaboration with Beno Gutenberg. This scale is used to measure the magnitude of seismic events, such as earthquakes. It is logarithmic and allows for comparison of the energy released by different earthquakes.
The scale for a Tsunami is a Richter Scale. The Richter Scale is a scale that measures earthquakes, and Tsunamis are normally made by earthquakes. But be careful, because Tsunamis are normally formed by 6.5's or greater on the Richter Scale. -I hope I helped Actually, the Richter Scale is invalid, and we do not use it any more. The scale we use today is the MMS, or Moment Magnitude Scale. In the MMS, every point up the scale (Which goes from 1-10), multiplies it's magnitude by 30.
The Richter scale
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.
No, the Richter scale is used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes, while the Beaufort scale is used to estimate wind speeds based on observable effects on land and sea. They are different scales used for different purposes.
Richter scale
4-5 on the Richter scale.
It reached 7.0 on the richter scale
The scale of Richter scale is 10. It calculates the earthquake on a scale of 10.
