What are all of the scales for measuring earthquakes?
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.
What are the levels of earthquakes?
The two main earthquake classifications are the Ritcher and mercalli scales. The Ritcher scale measures the actual amount of energy released by the quake in a scale of 1-10. Every number in the scale is 10x stronger than the number before it. This is the kind of measurement that would be reported in the news first. Most earthquakes are recorded using this scale. The Mercalli scale rates earthquakes by the signs noticeable during the quake and the damage caused. Having plaster falling off walls, for example, would give a rating of 6 (strong). Note that this scale doesn't indicate the actual intensity of the earthquake.
What is the rating of mt st helens on ritcher scale?
Mount St. Helens does not have a specific rating on the Richter scale, as the Richter scale measures the magnitude of earthquakes, not volcanic eruptions. However, the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens was accompanied by significant seismic activity, with numerous earthquakes recorded leading up to and during the eruption. The largest earthquakes associated with the eruption reached magnitudes of around 5.1 on the Richter scale.
use the map scale to measure the distance from the hamilton airport to the centre of each of the three cities in question 2?
similarities and differences Between Composite and prime numbers
What feature on a map or globe can you find the difference between two places?
You can find the difference in elevation between two places on a map or globe using contour lines or shading. These indicators show the varying heights of land features, helping you understand the differences in terrain between the two locations.
The ritcher scale measures?
The Ritcher Scale is used to measure earthquake strength.

What is the difference between a 2.0 and a 5.0 on the ritcher scale?
3 numbers. The different ratings are simply the levels of strength of an earthquake.
What is the ritcher scale of Haiti Earthquake?
It was 7.2 according to my freinds :S
What is the highest and lowest number on the Richter scale?
The lowest number on the Ritcher scale is a 1.0. A 1.0 is generally not felt at all. The highest number is a 10 on the Ritcher scale.
What is Charles Richter most famous for?
He was the first person who created the Ritcher scale
What's the biggest earthquake?
The biggest earthquake measured 9.5 on the ritcher scale.
What instrument measures density of an earthquake?
A seismograph records the intensity measured by the Ritcher Scale.
Why don't some earthquakes damage?
They might be in the middle of the ocean, causing no destruction. Or they could be very low on the Ritcher Scale.
