What term defines the size of earthquake?
The Richter Scale is the established scale for earthquakes based on size and power.When you see that an earthquake is a magnitude 5.2 it means that it is a 5.2 on the Richter scale.For every increase of one on the Richter scale, an earthquake's power is magnified tenfold. So, a magnitude 4 is ten times stronger than a magnitude 3 earthquake.Anything over a magnitude 5 is a really big earthquake.
