How are earthquake magnitude and intensity measured?

Earthquake magnitude is measured using a number of differing scales including the Richter scale, the moment magnitude scale and the surface magnitude scale. Intensity is measured using he Modified Mercalli intensity scale.


How do you find the magnitude in force?

Actually you answer itself is wrong. You can only find the magnitude of force, not the magnitude in force. You can find the magnitude of force by s = (1/2)*a*t^2


If Refers To The Size Or Strength Of The Force?

The "size" of a vector quantity - such as a force - is often called a MAGNITUDE.


What is the strongest magnitude earthquake ever measured on the Richter magnitude?

The strongest earthquake that can be measured using the Richter magnitude scale is one with a magnitude of 8.0. For earthquakes larger than this, the moment magnitude scale must be used.


What is a magnitude of force?

The magnitude of a force is its 'size' or 'strength', regardless of its direction.


What is a vector measured in?

A vector has magnitude and direction. You can specify the direction with an angle, then the magnitude depends on what you're measuring (force, velocity, etc.) The direction could also be something specific to the quantity measured, like saying the wind is blowing 15 miles per hour to the Northwest.
