The strength of an earthquake is measured on the Richter scale. The Richter scale is logarithmic, meaning that if the earthquake's strength increases by 1 on the Richter scale, it is 10 times more powerful, e.g. an earthquake measuring 5.0 is 10x more powerful than an earthquake measuring 4.0.
The strength of an earthquake is measured using a seismograph which measures the vibrations in the ground.
