What scale does Japan use to measure earthquakes?
Japan uses the Richter scale to measure earthquakes. This scale quantifies the energy released by an earthquake using a logarithmic scale from 1 to 10. In addition to the Richter scale, Japan also uses the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) seismic intensity scale to evaluate the intensity of shaking felt at specific locations.
Does the Richter scale measure how deep an earthquake is?
No. The Richter's scale measures the magnitude or intensity of an earthquake on a scale up to ten.
