The Richter scale, each number is ten times more stronger than the previous number. A #6 earthquake is ten times more power than a number 5 earthquake.

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.

What scale is used to describe the strength of an earthquakes?
The scale used to measure the strength of an earthquake is called the Richter scale
What scale is used to record the damage of an earthquake?
Mercalli Scale is used!
What scale is currently used to express the magnitude of an earthquake?
The most commonly used scale to express the magnitude of an earthquake is the Richter scale. This scale measures the amplitude of seismic waves produced by an earthquake. Another widely used scale is the moment magnitude scale, which provides a more accurate measurement for larger earthquakes.
What is a numerical scale used to express the strenghth of an earthquake?
A Richter scale
What is a numerical scale used to express the strength of an earthquake?
Richter scale
What scale is most often used to measure the scale of an earthquake?
The Moment Magnitude scale.
What is used to find the intesity of earthquakes?
Earthquake intensity is measured on a scale called 'Mercalli Intensity Scale' or more recently 'Modified Mercalli Scale'. The scale quantifies the effects of an earthquake on the Earth's surface, humans, objects of nature, and man-made structures on a scale from I (not felt) to XII (total destruction). An earthquake is graded after collecting data from people who have experienced the earthquake and observing the destruction caused by the earthquake. People often confuse 'Intensity' of an earthquake with its 'magnitude.' An earthquake's magnitude is a measure of the energy released by an earthquake that propagates from it. It is measured by the Richter scale(formerly), or Moment Magnitude Scale. Information about the earthquake is put into an algorithm to assign the earthquake to a scale of 2 or less, to 10.0+ and anything in between. A magnitude of 2 or less is extremely weak, and may not have been felt at all. An earthquake with the magnitude of 10 is extremely massive and would cause mass destruction - there have not been any 10.0 earthquakes recorded yet. Magnitude and Intensity are correlated. Intensity depends on the magnitude, distance between focus and surface, and population density of the region etc. So, an earthquake with more magnitude will have more intensity, given all the conditions remain same. See the Related Links section below for the algorithm.
What scale does PAGASA used to measure the intensity of an earthquake?
PAGASA (Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration) uses the Richter scale to measure the intensity of earthquakes. This scale is a logarithmic scale that quantifies the energy released by an earthquake.

The Richter scale
The Mercalli scale is used to express?
the strength of an earthquake.
