The Richter scale has no theoretical upper or lower limit, in practical terms however the lowest level is dependent on the sensitivity of modern seismometers. As their sensitivity increases the minimum possible Richter magnitude will decrease. The maximum practical earthquake magnitude that the Richter scale can detect is a magnitude 8.0 event.
No. The Richter Scale rates the intensity of earthquakes. There is not intensity scale for tsunamis.
The scale of Richter scale is 10. It calculates the earthquake on a scale of 10.
Richter scale
No, the Richter scale is a logarithmic scale that starts at zero and has no downward limit. Earthquakes cannot have negative magnitudes on the Richter scale.
The magnitude of the 2010 Haiti earthquake on the Richter scale was 7.0
The Richter scale does not know anything. The Richter scale is a measurement of the magnitude of an earthquake. The numbers of the scale represent a quantifiable measurement or range of the strength.
The Richter scale was created solely for the purpose of measuring earthquakes, not tsunamis.
The Richter scale
My rebuilt engine is about 7.5 on the Richter scale! Yesterday's earthquake read 3.2 on the Richter scale. The Richter scale was developed in the 1930s.
Richter scale
4-5 on the Richter scale.
It reached 7.0 on the richter scale
Those numbers are orders of magnitude on the Richter scale. The Richter magnitude scale was developed in 1935 by Charles F. Richter of the California Institute of Technology as a mathematical device to compare the size of earthquakes.
The scale of Richter scale is 10. It calculates the earthquake on a scale of 10.
No. The Richter Scale rates the intensity of earthquakes. There is not intensity scale for tsunamis.
The scale used to measure the strength of an earthquake is called the Richter scale
There is no upper or lower limit on the Richter magnitude scale and as such there are an unlimited number of divisions! However in practical terms, the Richter scale is not suitable for measuring earthquakes with magnitudes greater than 6.9.
