The lowest number on the Ritcher scale is a 1.0. A 1.0 is generally not felt at all. The highest number is a 10 on the Ritcher scale.
The highest number on the Richter scale is 10. However, in practice, most earthquakes do not exceed a magnitude of 9.5.
An earthquake's magnitude is expressed as a number on the Richter Scale.
If the Richter scale were to be destroyed, it would not be assigned a number as it is a logarithmic scale used to quantify the magnitude of earthquakes. It is not a physical object that can be destroyed.
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 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.
1 is the lowest 14 is the highest and 7 is the middle
The Highest reading on the richter scale has been a 9.7 magnitude in Chilli
Haven't got a CLUE! :D

The Richter scale is the highest measurement
The place with the highest magnitude on the Richter scale took place in the Solomon Islands on January 3, 2010. Luckily, no fatalities were recorded.
The highest Richter scale value for an historical earthquake was the Great Chilean Earthquake (Valdivia Earthquake) of 1960, which occurred on May 22, 1960. Its moment magnitude was estimated at 9.5 on the Richter scale (9.4 to 9.6).
The 2011 earthquake was a 5.8 magnitude on the Richter scale.
The Richter scale has no theoretical upper or lower limit, in practical terms however the lowest level is dependent on the sensitivity of modern seismometers. As their sensitivity increases the minimum possible Richter magnitude will decrease. The maximum practical earthquake magnitude that the Richter scale can detect is a magnitude 8.0 event.
the range is highest subtracting the lowest number hope this helps:)
