Richter scale, Wegener scale, and Mercalliscale.
small scale
There are two The Richter Scale and the Moment Scale.
Richter Scale~
The Richter Scale
The scale was devised by American geologist Charles W. Richter (1900-1985) in 1935.
The highest number on the Richter scale is 10. However, in practice, most earthquakes do not exceed a magnitude of 9.5.
Ricther Scale: A scale of 1 to 10. I think the highest ever recorded was somewere in China in 8.9

An earthquake of magnitude 8.4 on the Richter scale is 1000 times more powerful than an earthquake of magnitude 6.4 on the Richter scale. The Richter scale is logarithmic, meaning that each whole number increase represents a tenfold increase in amplitude and approximately 31.6 times more energy release.
A strong earthquake typically refers to one that falls within the magnitude range of 6.0 to 6.9 on the Richter scale. These earthquakes can cause significant damage to buildings and infrastructure, especially in populated areas.

First, there was an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.9 on the Ricther scale. There was also a shift underneath the water. All the water above it was disturbed. All that water formed into a wave which gradually grew bigger. When it arrived, it washed out everything in it's path.

No, but they are labeled as not to scale if they are not to scale. Most of them are to scale.
The E scale is identical to the Fb scale.
