epicenter
The magnitude of an earthquake is measured with a seismograph and the readout is measured using the Richter scale - See Sources and related links for more information.
The Haiti Earthquake measured about 7 on the Richter Scale.
The biggest earthquake measured 9.5 on the ritcher scale.
The size of an earthquake is measured on the Ricter scale it can also be measured on the Mercalli scale.For an example the 2008 earthquake in China was 7.8 on the Rictor scale and in was XI on the Mercalli scale
The power of an earthquake is measured using a seismometer to record the seismic waves produced by the earthquake. The magnitude of an earthquake is typically measured using the Richter scale or moment magnitude scale.
ricter scale
a magnitude of 7.0
Earthquake magnitude is measured using a number of differing scales including the Richter scale, the moment magnitude scale and the surface magnitude scale. Intensity is measured using he Modified Mercalli intensity scale.
Earthquakes are typically measured on the Richter scale or the moment magnitude scale, which quantify the energy released by an earthquake. The higher the number on either scale, the stronger the earthquake's intensity.
The 2011 Tohoku earthquake measured 9.0 on the Richter scale.
No, the largest earthquake recorded was in Chile in 1960 at 9.5
A earthquake occurs when two tectonic plates rub or collide and create sicmic activity below earth! It is measured on a Richter scale from 1-10... :)
