Nothing. Weight is the force of gravity acting on objects with mass. It is measured in units of Newtons.
The Richter scale is not a physical or mechanical object but a mathematical scale used to rate the magnitude (the amount of energy released by) of earthquakes.
An earthquake's magnitude is expressed as a number 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.
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.
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
There is no upper or lower limit on the Richter magnitude scale and as such there are an unlimited number of divisions! However in practical terms, the Richter scale is not suitable for measuring earthquakes with magnitudes greater than 6.9.

The Richter scale was developed in the 1930's as a mathematical device to measure and compare the size of earthquakes
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.

4-5 on the Richter scale.
It reached 7.0 on the richter scale
No. The Richter Scale rates the intensity of earthquakes. There is not intensity scale for tsunamis.
The scale of Richter scale is 10. It calculates the earthquake on a scale of 10.
The scale used to measure the strength of an earthquake is called the Richter scale
The Richter scale is based on measurements of *Amplitude*. (^_^)
it measured 8.9 on the Richter scale
