To measure earthquakes scientists use a machine called a seismometer. The answers are made public by using the Richter scale, which is a logarithmic scale ie an earthquake with a reading of 5 is 10 times worse than one with a reading of 4. A reading of up to 5 on the Richter scale is not too serious. A bit of shaking. A reading of 8 means serious damage A reading of 10 is a national disaster.
