Earthquakes are detected by using a seismograph
The energy released by earthquakes take the form of seismic waves which travel through the ground. These are detected by a seismograph. Based on the amplitude of the seismic waves measured by the seismograph the earthquakes strength can be calculated (to give a value on the Richter scale). Large earthquakes can cause permanent displacements / deformation at the Earth's surface whereby the change in position of an object can be detected using GPS.
The weakest earthquakes, measuring less than 2.0 on the Richter scale, can occur anywhere around the world. These earthquakes are generally not felt by people and are often only detected by seismographs.
The magnitude of earthquakes typically ranges from <0 (microearthquakes) to >9 (great earthquakes). The most commonly used scale to measure earthquake magnitude is the Richter Scale or the moment magnitude scale.
Heat that can be measured or felt is called sensible heat. Sensible heat refers to the heat exchange that causes a change in temperature and can be detected by the human senses or measured using a thermometer.
The intensity of earthquakes is measured using the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale, which assesses the effects of an earthquake at a given location. The energy released during an earthquake is measured using the moment magnitude scale (Mw), which takes into account the seismic moment and rupture length of the earthquake.
Earthquakes are detected and measured using seismometers or seismographs.

Because they are detected by seismometers.
All earthquakes are measured on either the Richter scale or the Mercalli scale.

The intensity of earthquakes is measured on the Richter Scale.
Earthquakes are monitered by a device called a Richter Scale.

A characteristic that can be measured or detected by the senses is called a physical property. Physical properties include color, shape, size, and texture, among others.
Earthquakes are measured using seismometers that record the seismic waves produced by the shaking of the ground. The two main scales used to measure earthquakes are the Richter scale, which measures the amplitude of seismic waves, and the moment magnitude scale, which considers the total energy released by an earthquake. These scales provide a numerical value called the magnitude to quantify the earthquake's size.
