It did not have a Richter scale rating. The Richter scale is used to rate earthquakes, not volcanic eruptions. Volcanic eruptions are rated on the Volcanic Explosivity Index. The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo was a VEI 6, described as a colossal eruption.
The Mercalli Intensity Scale is a measure of earthquake intensity experienced at a given location. The Kobe earthquake in 1995 had intensities reaching up to VIII (8) on the Mercalli Intensity Scale in the heavily affected areas around Kobe.
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.
The two types of earthquake scales are the Richter scale and the moment magnitude scale. The Richter scale measures the amplitude of seismic waves, while the moment magnitude scale accounts for the energy released by an earthquake.
An earthquake that was rated 3 on the Richter scale would beignored
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.
The Mercalli Intensity Scale is a measure of earthquake intensity experienced at a given location. The Kobe earthquake in 1995 had intensities reaching up to VIII (8) on the Mercalli Intensity Scale in the heavily affected areas around Kobe.
The magnitude of the 2010 Haiti earthquake on the Richter scale was 7.0
The 2011 earthquake was a 5.8 magnitude 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.
The Richter Scale
No. The Richter's scale measures the magnitude or intensity of an earthquake on a scale up to ten.
4-5 on the Richter scale.
It reached 7.0 on the richter scale
The scale used to measure the strength of an earthquake is called the Richter scale
Richter scale
The Haiti earthquake was measued at a magnitude of seven on the ricter scale.
The Haiti earthquake measured around 7.0 on the Richter Scale.
