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 magnitude of an earthquake is measured with a seismograph and the readout is measured using the Richter scale - See Sources and related links for more information.
The Richter Scale is used to determine the earthquake density. The scale is measured from low as 1 to high as 10.

It reached 7.0 on the richter scale
There are two instruments, which are basically the same thing. There is the seismograph , and a more specific tool measures the waves on what is called the Richter scale. Earthquakes are given a number from one to ten, ten being the strongest. The strongest earthquake that their ever was, was measured a 9.3.
logarithmic scale
it measured 8.9 on the Richter scale
The intensity of earthquakes is measured on the Richter Scale.
they are measured by a Richter scale
They are measured on the Richter scale.
A Richter scale measures the movement of the earths surface which happens during an earthquake.
The Richter scale measures the magnitude of seismic waves produced by an earthquake, which provides an estimate of the energy released at the earthquake's source. A higher Richter scale number indicates a stronger earthquake.
Earthquakes are typically measured on the Richter scale or the moment magnitude scale, which quantify the energy released by an earthquake. The higher the number on either scale, the stronger the earthquake's intensity.
The Haiti earthquake measured around 7.0 on the Richter Scale.
Richter scale is used to measure earthquakes magnitude Shake intensity is measured on the Mercalli scale
Earthquakes are measured using a Richter scale and the results are reflected in Richter units in orded coincide with the Richter scale.
Many people consider the recent earthquake in Japan (8.9 on Richter Scale) to be unprecendented in devastation.
