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
What else can I help you with?
How can you measured the earthquake?
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.
What scale is used to determine an earthquakes density?
The Richter Scale is used to determine the earthquake density. The scale is measured from low as 1 to high as 10.
In which location of 1994 earthquake that measured 6.7 on the Richter scale and killed 57 people?
northridge
What is the Richter scale of the earthquake in Haiti?
It reached 7.0 on the richter scale
What scale helps you determine the magnitude of an earthquake?
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.
What does Richter scale measured in?
logarithmic scale
What was the recent Japanese earthquake on the Richter scale?
it measured 8.9 on the Richter scale
What is measured on the ritchet scale?
The intensity of earthquakes is measured on the Richter Scale.
How are some earthquakes measured?
they are measured by a Richter scale
What unit are siesmic waves measured in?
They are measured on the Richter scale.
What is measured by Richter scale?
A Richter scale measures the movement of the earths surface which happens during an earthquake.
What it measured on the Richter scale?
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.
Which scale is earthquake measured on?
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.
How much did the haiti earthquake measure on the Richter scale?
The Haiti earthquake measured around 7.0 on the Richter Scale.
What scale gives the intensity of earthquakes?
Richter scale is used to measure earthquakes magnitude Shake intensity is measured on the Mercalli scale
What do you measure the strength of a earth quake in?
Earthquakes are measured using a Richter scale and the results are reflected in Richter units in orded coincide with the Richter scale.
When was a more devastating Japanese natural disaster?
Many people consider the recent earthquake in Japan (8.9 on Richter Scale) to be unprecendented in devastation.
