What do you use to measure the power of an earthquake?
A Richter scale measures the power of a earthquake
What was the mercalli scale for the Kobe earthquake?
The Richter scale pf the Kobe earthquake is 7.2, and it corresponds to 11 on the Mercalli scale, as it measures the destruction of the earthquake.
An earthquake that was rated 3 on the Richter scale would be?
An earthquake that was rated 3 on the Richter scale would beignored
Why Richter Scale is Non-Linear?
The Richter scale is not a linear scale. This means that an earthquake of magnitude 6 does not have twice as destructive power as the earthquake of magnitude 3. Actually, an earthquake with magnitude 5 is ten times more destructive than an earthquake of magnitude 4. The Richter scale is a logarithmic scale.
What is an earthquake measuring between 7.0 and 7.0 on the Richter scale?
a earthquake that measures 7.0 to 7.9 on a ritcher scale is called an sichuan earthquake
What scale do you use to determine in the magnitude of an earthquake?
Ritcher Scale
What is the scale scientists curentally use to rate an earthquake?
the Richter scale
What do you use to measure the power of an earthquake?
A Richter scale measures the power of a earthquake
Do you still use the richtor scale?
Yes we still use the richtor scale today,, to find the force of the earthquake.
How do scientists espress the magnitude of an earthquake?
They use the Richter Scale.
What scale did Charles Richter use to measure strength?
Earthquake
Which earthquake scale rates the magnitude of the earthquake?
The Richter Scale
Describe the scales that scientists use to measure the magnitude of an earthquake?
The most commonly referred to scale by the press and the public is the Richter scale for measuring earthquake magnitude. However this was actually replaced in the 1970s by the Moment Magnitude scale which is the magnitude scale favoured and in use by seismologists.
What natural phenomena are measured by the'richer scale'?
the Richter scale is used to measure the power, strength of an earthquake
What was the mercalli scale for the Kobe earthquake?
The Richter scale pf the Kobe earthquake is 7.2, and it corresponds to 11 on the Mercalli scale, as it measures the destruction of the earthquake.
What evidence do geolgists use to rate an earthquake on the moment magnitude scale?
They measure the amplitude of the L waves to rate the earthquake.
What instrument do seismologist use to study the vibrations caused by an earthquake?
mercalli scale
