The scale that measures earthquake strength is called the Richter scale. It quantifies the magnitude of an earthquake based on the amplitude of seismic waves recorded by seismographs. Another commonly used scale is the Moment Magnitude Scale (Mw), which provides a more accurate measurement for larger earthquakes. Both scales help assess the energy released during seismic events.

How is the intensity and magnitude of an earthquake measured?
Earthquakes are measure with a seismograph which indicates the intensity of earth crust´s movements this measurement is call Richter 1 being less intensity and 10 being major intensity.
What do you call the part on the key that measures distance on a map?
The distance can be measured with any ruler and compared to the scale on the map. For example 1/4inch equal 5miles, and if you measure the route and it equals 1 1/2 inches. 1 1/2 = 6/4, 6*5= 30miles
What do you call the scales that measure the earthquakes?
There are three: Mercalli, for intensity ergo the damages it produce and how it fells; Richter, to know the energy that is released in the epicenter; Moment Magnitude Scale, is a modern version of the Richter scale. I also think there is other version of the mercalli scale, with obviously other name, but I am not totally sure.
What do you call the area directly above the focus of an earthquake?
The area directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the epicenter. This is the point on the Earth's surface directly above where the earthquake originates in the crust.
What do you call the point of the earths surface directly above where an earthquake originates?
The epicenter
How is call an earthquake that measures 7 on the scale?
7.0 on the Richter scale. ( not sure if I spelled it right.)
What do you call a scale that weigh you?
A scale that measures body weight is simply called a "weight scale" or "bathroom scale."
What do you call the vibration from an earthquake?
Earthquake tremors.
What is an instrument used to detect and record earthquakes?
There are two instruments, which are basically the same thing. There is the seismograph , and a more specific tool measures the waves on what is called the Richter scale. Earthquakes are given a number from one to ten, ten being the strongest. The strongest earthquake that their ever was, was measured a 9.3.
