The rating system that estimates the total energy released by an earthquake is called the?
Richter scale
Are tornadoes measurable?
Yes. Wind speeds can be estimated from damage and sometimes measure using Doppler radar, which can yield a rating on the Enhanced Fujita scale. The length and width of a tornado's damage path can also be measured, though this has no bearing on the rating.
Which earthquake has recorded the highest rating on the Richter Scale in the 20th century?
I have no idea but this website should know. try to find the answer to this answer
Are there F10 tornadoes?
No tornado has ever been stronger than F5. Fujita scale ratings are based on damage and F5 damage damage is total destruction. This makes it impossible to assign a higher rating.
What category is a 250mph tornado?
There is no "category" for winds in a tornado. Tornadoes are measured by the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which simply is a rating based on the amount of damage done. It ranges from weakest EF-0, to strongest EF-5....250mph winds are "capable" of producing EF-5 damage, should it move over certain sturdy structures. However, a tornado over an open field with 250mph will not get an EF-5 rating because it has no sturdy structures for it to damage. Tornadoes are rated after the fact based on the amount of damage done. So while a 250mph wind "could" produce EF-5 damage, it's got to move over the right structures for that damage to be realized and the tornado given that rating.
When is rating of earthquake damage at a particular location?
Focus scale
What scale is described for damage in an earthquake?
Technically, you can't tell damage from the Richter Scale, because the Richter Scale rating of an earthquake stays the same no mater how far out you go from the epicenter. The scale that measures the damage of an earthquake (meaning the scale rating gets lower the further you go from the epicenter) is called the Mercalli Scale. The Mercalli Scale goes from II to XII (2 to 12) and the rating on the Mercalli Scale in which damage starts to occur is about 6. However, if you are going by the Richter Scale, damage at the epicenter would start at about 5.0
