How can you measured the earthquake?
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.
What number was the Haitian earthquake?
The Haiti Earthquake measured about 7 on the Richter Scale.
What's the biggest earthquake?
The biggest earthquake measured 9.5 on the ritcher scale.
What is the amount of damage caused by an earthquake is called?
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
What do you use to measure the power of an earthquake?
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.
How are the scales of an earthquake measured?
ricter scale
What was measured to be the earthquake in Haiti?
a magnitude of 7.0
How are earthquake magnitude and intensity measured?
Earthquake magnitude is measured on the Richter scale, which uses seismograph recordings to determine the energy released during an earthquake. Earthquake intensity, on the other hand, is measured using the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale, which assesses the effects of an earthquake on people, buildings, and the environment at specific locations. Magnitude indicates the size of the earthquake, while intensity describes its effects.
Which scale is earthquake measured on?
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.
What was the measurement of Japan's major 2011 earthquake?
The 2011 Tohoku earthquake measured 9.0 on the Richter scale.
Has an earthquake ever measured a 10 on the Richter scale?
No, the largest earthquake recorded was in Chile in 1960 at 9.5
What is earthquake intensity and how is it measured?
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... :)
