What is the term that refers to the strength of earthquakes as measured by seismic waves and movement along faults?
The term for the instrument that measures the seismic waves of earthquakes along faults or tectonic plates is known as a seismograph. These machines measure the force given off by the trembling of the ground due to the force of an earthquake. The strength is measured as magnitude on the "Richter scale" which is a logarithmic quantity. For example, the motion generated by a quake of magnitude 5 on the Richter scale is 10 times as large as that generated by a quake of magnitude 4.
What is the richer scaleused to measure flood levels or the heat of a volcano or the strength in earthquakes?
The Richter scale is used to rate the magnitude of an earthquake -- the amount of energy it released
Do you need to adjust a carburetor for high elevation?
Yes, the hire you go the less air, your engine will run richer and richer.
When the measure of the intensity of an earthquake on the Richter scale goes up in magnitude by two what does it imply?
I assume that you mean the Richter scale and not richer scale. The Richter scale is a logarithmic (base 10) scale. An increase in magnitude of 2 represents an increase in amplitude by a factor of 100.
What is the skeleton found in cnidarians and earthworms?
that they're richer and the cook is basically a gratified slave
What is the predetermined scale used as reference to measure the amount of energy released at the focused?
The Moment Magnitude scale (this replaced the Richer Scale in the 1970s).

When was the richer scale invented?
The moment one person had more wealth than another

because when we eat it just make it more richer and soy instead a stale hard taste that does help our taste buds
