What is the Rictor scale?
I believe you meant the Richter scale. It is a scale used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes based on the amplitude of seismic waves. The Richter scale is logarithmic, meaning each whole number increase represents a tenfold increase in amplitude and approximately 31.6 times more energy released.
What is the name of the scale that rates earthquake damage at a particular location?
The scale that rates earthquake damage at a particular location is called the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale. It measures the intensity of shaking and resulting damage felt at a specific location during an earthquake, rather than the earthquake's magnitude.

What is the hardness of slate on mohs hardness scale?

What is the name of the temperature scale used to measure earths heat?

How do you spell rictor?
The spelling of the historic scale for earthquakes is Richter, for Charles Francis Richter (1900-1985). There is a fictional character named Rictor in the X-men comics.
How did the japan tsunami happen?
and earhtquake scoring 8.9 on the rictor scale triggered the tsunami
What is the amount of damage caused by an earthquake is called?
The size of an earthquake is measured on the Ricter scale it can also be measured on the Mercalli scale.For an example the 2008 earthquake in China was 7.8 on the Rictor scale and in was XI on the Mercalli scale
What scales are used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes?
The most commonly used scale to measure the magnitude of earthquakes is the Richter scale. However, the moment magnitude scale (Mw) is now more widely used as it provides a more accurate measurement for larger earthquakes. Other scales include the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale, which measures the intensity of shaking at a specific location.
Which scale would be used to tell how much an earthquake damage was done to homes and other buildings?
They could use the information from the seismic wave scale
When was Rictor created?
Rictor was created in 1987.
Name the scale that measures the intensity of earthquakes?
The Rickter (RICK-tur) scale has been popular for decades to measure the intensity of earthquakes, yet it had its issues. These days the Mercalli scale is most often used by geologists and vulcanologists.
When was Rictor Norton born?
Rictor Norton was born in 1945.

What were the effects of the earthquakes in Haiti?
Millions lost their homes and 225,000 died as the rictor scale was 6.9. Hundreds of thousands were injured as well
