PAGASA (Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration) uses the Richter scale to measure the intensity of earthquakes. This scale is a logarithmic scale that quantifies the energy released by an earthquake.
PAGASA uses the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale to measure the intensity of an earthquake in the Philippines. This scale assesses the effects of an earthquake on people, structures, and the environment rather than measuring the actual energy released by the earthquake.
The Richter magnitude scale is used to measure the strength of an earthquake.

Scientists also measure the magnitude of an earthquake, which represents the total energy released at the source. Magnitude is typically measured on the Richter scale or the moment magnitude scale.
The scale used to measure the strength of an earthquake is called the Richter scale
PAGASA (Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration) uses the Richter scale to measure the intensity of earthquakes. This scale is a logarithmic scale that quantifies the energy released by an earthquake.
The Richter Scale best describes how much energy an earthquake releases also known as it's magnitude.
No. The Richter's scale measures the magnitude or intensity of an earthquake on a scale up to ten.
to rate an earthquake
The magnitude of an earthquake is caluated to measure the amount of energy released during the earthquake.
The Moment Magnitude scale.
The Haiti earthquake measured around 7.0 on the Richter Scale.
