a Richter scale
There are two The Richter Scale and the Moment Scale.
Richter or local magnitude scaleMoment magnitude scaleBonus:Surface magnitude 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.
Richter or Mercailles.
do you mean the richter scale?If so, the richter scale is a scale ranging from 1 to 1o that is used to determine the magnitude of an earthquake.
A magnitude scale. Formerly the Richter magnitude scale was used, but this has now been replaced by the Moment magnitude scale.

The instrument that is used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake is a seismometer.
It is a device called a seismographe. It is used to determine the magnitude on a scale which is then deciding how bad the earthquake is.

Richter Magnitude
The Moment magnitude scale (which replaced the Richter scale) and the Modified Mercalli scale are used to determine the strength of an earthquake.The Moment magnitude scale is used by seismologists to rate the energy released by earthquakes.The Modified Mercalli scale is used to measure the intensity of an earthquake, and the amount of damage it causes. This value is derived from reports by witnesses of the earthquake, the damage caused to buildings and other infrastructure and the measured ground accelerations from seismometers.Please see the related questions for more information.One is the Richter scale, which measures waves and gives us a measure of the magnitude of the earthquake. The other is the Mercalli scale, which is based on the amount of damage done.

Simple!What is the name of the most commonly used magnitude scale? Still finding the answer?Answer:The name of the most commonly used magnitude scale isRichter Magnitude ScaleNote:I'm not so sure with my answer. You know mabye there are other common magnitude scale. Only God knows.
