The Richter scale. For larger earthquakes (magnitude greater than 7) and for those with an epicentral distance greater than 700 km from the seismometer station, the Moment magnitude scale is used.

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
The Richter scale.
It measures an Earthquakes intensity
No. The Richter Scale rates the intensity of earthquakes. There is not intensity scale for tsunamis.
The Richter scale rates earthquakes based on the amplitude of seismic waves. The moment magnitude scale is a more modern and accurate scale that estimates the total energy released by an earthquake.
You can measure earthquakes on the Moment magnitude scale or the Richter scale
Richter scale is used to measure earthquakes magnitude Shake intensity is measured on the Mercalli scale
Earthquakes are gauged by the Richter scale.

Richter Scale~
The moment magnitude scale (Mw) rates earthquakes based on the total energy released during an event. It provides a more accurate measure of an earthquake's size, especially for larger events, compared to previous scales like the Richter scale. The moment magnitude is calculated using seismic data, including the area of the fault that slipped and the amount of slip, making it a reliable indicator of an earthquake's impact.
