The Richter scale best describes how much energy an earthquake releases also known as it's magnitude.
No. The scale you are describing is an intensity scale such as the modified Mercalli scale. The Richter scale is in fact a magnitude scale which describes the amount of energy released by an earthquake.
The Richter scale uses Arabic numerals.
Richter scale measures the magnitude of earthquakes.
Yes it does. The Richter Scale measures intensity for earthquakes!!
Charles Richter was a physicist who created the Richter scale. This scale allowed scientist to quantify the size of an earthquake.

The Richter scale
My rebuilt engine is about 7.5 on the Richter scale! Yesterday's earthquake read 3.2 on the Richter scale. The Richter scale was developed in the 1930s.

Invented in 1935 by Charles F. Richter, the Richter Scale measures the magnitude of earthquakes.

The Richter scale uses Arabic numerals.
That is impossible as the Richter scale is for measuring earthquakes.
