Semilog (applied to a graph) means that one scale is logarithmic, the other not. The prefix "semi-" means "half" or "partially". The scale that is not logarithmic is, of course, linear.
A linear graph. As opposed to a logarithmic scale graph.
The decibel scale is a logarithmic scale. Scroll down to related links and look at "Decibel - Wikipedia" and "Sound level meter - Wikipedia".

Logarithmic will give a more define shape of the graph
The Decibal scale for sound measurement is an example of a logarithmic scale. The Richter scale, the pH scale, the magnitude scale for stars, the multiplicative scales on a slide rule
The decibel scale is logarithmic, with each increase of 10 decibels representing a tenfold increase in sound intensity. This means that a sound at 20 decibels is 10 times more intense than a sound at 10 decibels, and a sound at 30 decibels is 100 times more intense than a sound at 10 decibels.
A silent database, also known as a database with no sound, is a fictional term that does not exist in the context of databases. Databases store data and do not have any inherent sound or audio capabilities.
From a math point of view, a logarithmic scale is used when there is a great range of values. Common example are the Ph scale for acidity, decibels for noise, and the Richter scale for earthquakes.
it isn't it is on the Richter scale
The intensity of earthquakes is measured using the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale, which assesses the effects of an earthquake at a given location. The energy released during an earthquake is measured using the moment magnitude scale (Mw), which takes into account the seismic moment and rupture length of the earthquake.
