The Richter scale best describes how much energy an earthquake releases also known as it's magnitude.
What else can I help you with?
The Richter scale is a system that measures the amount of energy released at the focus of an earthquake?
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.
What event's magnitude is expressed as a number on the Richter Scale?
An earthquake's magnitude is expressed as a number on the Richter Scale.
What it measured on the Richter scale?
The Richter scale measures the magnitude of seismic waves produced by an earthquake, which provides an estimate of the energy released at the earthquake's source. A higher Richter scale number indicates a stronger earthquake.
What did Charles Richter discover?
Charles Richter developed the Richter scale in collaboration with Beno Gutenberg. This scale is used to measure the magnitude of seismic events, such as earthquakes. It is logarithmic and allows for comparison of the energy released by different earthquakes.
Why is the R in Richter scale capitalized?
Because it's Charles Richter's last name... He made the Richter Scale... The Richter Scale can only go up to a 9.9999999(continuous 9)... In Japan in March 2011 the earthquake was a 9.1... It was the 3rd largest earthquake on record
What describes a Richter scale?
magnitude of an earthquake
Does The Richter scale describes the effects of an earthquake on people buildings and land at a given location.?
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.

Do you measure earthquakes with Richter scale or the Mercalli scale?
The Richter scale
How do you use Richter Scale in a sentence?
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.

Which earthquake scale gives the best of the energy released during an earthquake?
Invented in 1935 by Charles F. Richter, the Richter Scale measures the magnitude of earthquakes.
What is a numerical scale used to express the strength of an earthquake?
Richter scale
The Pompeii earthquake on the Richter scale?
4-5 on the Richter scale.
What is the Richter scale of the earthquake in Haiti?
It reached 7.0 on the richter scale
Have tsunamis scale of Richter?
No. The Richter Scale rates the intensity of earthquakes. There is not intensity scale for tsunamis.
What is the Richter scales limit?
The scale of Richter scale is 10. It calculates the earthquake on a scale of 10.
