Charles Richter was a physicist who created the Richter scale. This scale allowed scientist to quantify the size of an earthquake.
Charles parents name were Fred W. Kinsinger and Lillian Anna Ricther
One famous seismologist is Charles F. Richter, creator of the Richter magnitude scale used to measure the strength of earthquakes. Another prominent seismologist is Hiroo Kanamori, known for his research on earthquake mechanisms and his contributions to understanding earthquake processes.
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
Some famous seismologists include Charles Richter, who developed the Richter magnitude scale for measuring earthquakes, and Inge Lehmann, who discovered Earth's inner core. Hiroo Kanamori is also renowned for his contributions to understanding earthquake mechanisms.
The local or Richter magnitude scale is named after Charles Francis Richter an American seismologist and geophysicist. Some people use the title Richter-Gutenberg scale to acknowledge the contribution to the scale of Charles Richter's colleague, Beno Gutenberg a fellow geophysicist at the California Institute of Technology. it is worth noting however that geophysicists / seismologists use the moment magnitude scale in place of the Richter magnitude scale when possible as it is more reliable for large magnitude earthquakes (greater than 6.9) and for earthquakes that occur a long distance away from the nearest seismometer station (greater than 600 km).
In 1928 Charles Richter married Lillian Brand. Charles Francis Richter had no children.
Charles Richter was born on April 26, 1900.
Charles Richter was born on April 26, 1900.
A accomplishment don by Charles Richter is the Richter scale made to know when an earthquake is coming.
