What is the name of the earthquake magnitude scale?
The Richter Scale
Describe the scales that scientists use to measure the magnitude of an earthquake?
The most commonly referred to scale by the press and the public is the Richter scale for measuring earthquake magnitude. However this was actually replaced in the 1970s by the Moment Magnitude scale which is the magnitude scale favoured and in use by 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
What is used to describe the strength of an earthquake?
The moment magnitude scale has replaced the Richter Scale.

Why is the Richter scale called this?
Charles F. Richter and German-born seismologist Beno Gutenberg, developed the scale that bears his name the Richter scale. and measures the magnitude of earthquakes.
What scale is used to measure to energy of an earthquake?
A magnitude scale. Formerly the Richter magnitude scale was used, but this has now been replaced by the Moment magnitude scale.
What is the name of the most commonly used earthquake magnitude scale?
The Richter scale
Do you measure earthquakes with Richter scale or the Mercalli scale?
The Richter scale
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.
Is earthquakes are measured by the Richter scale fact or fantasy?
The Richter scale was commonly used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes, but it has been largely replaced by the moment magnitude scale. The Richter scale was limited in measuring large earthquakes accurately, while the moment magnitude scale provides a more reliable and consistent measurement for seismic events of varying sizes.
What is the name of the scale used to measure the frequency of an earthquake?
Richter
What is the name of the city affected by 8.9 Richter scale?
