The Richter magnitude scale is used to measure the strength of an earthquake.
A device used to measure the strength of an earthquake
The Richter scale is used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes. It is a logarithmic scale, meaning each whole number increase represents a tenfold increase in amplitude. For example, an earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale is ten times larger in amplitude than one measuring 6.0.
Kitchen scales weigh ingredients used in cooking.
The main scales for measuring earthquakes are the Richter scale, the moment magnitude scale, and the Mercalli intensity scale. The Richter scale measures the amplitude of seismic waves, the moment magnitude scale considers the total energy released by an earthquake, and the Mercalli intensity scale measures the intensity of shaking and its effects on people and structures.
Richtor scales
Richter scale is used for measuring earthquakes. It is a scale which works from 1 to 10 magnitude.
the Mercalli Scale, the Richter Scale, and the Moment Magnitude Scale
Richter scales are used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake. There is no specific unit used for earthquakes. I hope this helps. =)
Richter or local magnitude scaleMoment magnitude scaleBonus:Surface magnitude scale
Earthquake strength is measured using a magnitude scale. For small to moderate strength Earthquakes (< magnitude 7) the Richter scale is used. For Earthquakes between 7 and 8 the body and surface magnitude scales are used and for earthquakes larger than 8, the moment magnitude scale is used.
