Why is a Richter scale called the Richter scale?
The Richter Magnitude Scale is a system used to measure the quantity of energy released during an earthquake. It measures the earthquakes magnitude- energy released. It was Developed in 1935 by Charles F Richter of the California Institute of Technology. As his creation, it was named after him. And that's how it got the name 'Richter Scale'. Hope that helped. yea

Charles. Darwin
Who developed the classification system?
Aristotle developed the first classification system.
What is the rating system used to estimate the total energy an earthquake releases?
The rating system used to estimate the total energy released by an earthquake is the Moment Magnitude Scale.

No. There is no rating system for thunderstorms.
What scale measures energy releases?
Since you have posted this question in "Earthquakes", the Richter scale is commonly used to measure Earth's movements. It is measured on a seismograph, and is named after Ohio seismologist Charles Richter who, with Beno Gutenburg, perfected the system at Cal Tech between 1927 and 1935.
