I suspect that you mean the "Richter scale." I am not familiar with the "rector scale." The Richter scale is a method to describe the amount of energy released by an earthquake as recorded at a specific location. Since the release of energy covers a very wide range of values, the scale is logarithmic, meaning that for every increase in a whole number, the energy is ten times greater. Thus an earthquake registering 5 on the Richter scale is ten times more powerful than an earthquake registering 4 on the Richter scale.
