There is no absolute top to the Richter scale, although the largest earthquake ever recorded by mankind was the Valdivia earthquake in Chile that was the equivalent of 9.5 on the Richter scale in 1960. While no earthquake any stronger has ever been recorded, the impact that caused the Chicxulub crater in the Yucatan Peninsula about 65 million years ago has been calculated to have been the equivalent of about 13.0 on the Richter scale.

Why do scientists prefer the moment magnitude scale to the richer scale?
ask a scientist, maybe he knows
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.

The Richter scale is used to rate the magnitude of an earthquake -- the amount of energy it released
How many different levels are measured on an Earthquake scale?
The Richter magnitude scale measures the energy released during an earthquake. That scale is a base 10 logarithmic scale with 9.9 being the highest and strongest an earthquake has been in known human history.
