What natural phenomena are measured by the'richer scale'?
the Richter scale is used to measure the power, strength of an earthquake
What are earthquakes measured?
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.
What is the difference in earthquake measurement by the Richter scale vs the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale?
The Richter scale determines earthquake magnitude by measuring how much the ground moves, and the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale determines earthquake intensity based on damage to buildings and effects on humans.
How is the streanth of earthquake measured?
The strength of an earthquake is measured using a seismic scale called the moment magnitude scale (Mw). It calculates the total energy released by an earthquake by measuring the amplitude of seismic waves. The scale is logarithmic, meaning that each whole number increase represents a tenfold increase in magnitude and roughly 31.6 times more energy released.
A scale useful in measuring the temperatuer of super cold substance is called?
The Kelvin scale
What is an earthquake measuring between 7.0 and 7.0 on the Richter scale?
a earthquake that measures 7.0 to 7.9 on a ritcher scale is called an sichuan earthquake
Which scale is the most accurate at measuring the strength of an earthquake?
The richter scale!
List the three scales that are used for measuring earthquake?
the Mercalli Scale, the Richter Scale, and the Moment Magnitude Scale
What is the second strongest earthquake ever measured?
The 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake measuring 9.3 on the Richter scale. The strongest was in Japan measuring 9.5
What natural phenomena are measured by the'richer scale'?

What is a tornado on the Richter scale?
That is impossible as the Richter scale is for measuring earthquakes.
How often does Australia have an earthquake measuring 6 or more on the Richter scale?
not very often
