the scale used to measure the intensity of earthquakes
Richter scale, Wegener scale, and Mercalliscale.
small scale
There are two The Richter Scale and the Moment Scale.
definitely scale is mportant to disscuss about monumentality and humanism... but it is impposible to talk about two things by only one stuff.
the scale which measure the intensity of earthquack
Yes we still use the richtor scale today,, to find the force of the earthquake.
The Richtor scale only goes to 10. If you are talking about from the Mercalli scale then it is about 9.3ish on the Richtor scale
8.9
The Puyehue Volcano along the coast of Chile caused a 9.5 earthquake on the Richtor Scale. This happened on May 22, 1960.
Richtor scales
The highest earthquake ever recorded according to the Richter Scale was the 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Chile, which had a magnitude of 9.5. This earthquake caused widespread devastation and tsunamis that affected areas as far as Japan and the Philippines.
Germany, was Richtor among other variations
it was few weeks back in July 2010 in Washington D.C.,although it wasn`t very high on the Richtor scale it was only a point 3, there was no damage.
England frequently experiences earthquakes but fortunately they are not usually serious. The strongest recorded earthquake in recent years was the 2008 Lincolnshire earthquake. The Quake reached a magnitude of 5.2 on the Richtor scale and was felt as wide as Northern Ireland to the west and the Netherlands to the East. The quake caused structural damage to hundreds of buildings but fortunately there was only one minor injury.
Earthquakes with lower magnitude can cause more damage than higher ranking earthquakes because sometimes the buildings are easier to break in some areas than others for example : an earthquake with a 6 on the richtor scale in Texas may do more damage than a 7 on the richtor scale in California.

No, but they are labeled as not to scale if they are not to scale. Most of them are to scale.
