Richter Scale-In 1935, the seismologists Charles Francis Richter and Beno Gutenberg, of the California Institute of Technology, developed the (future) Richter magnitude scale, specifically for measuring earthquakes in a given area of study in California, as recorded and measured with the Wood-Anderson torsion seismograph.
Seismograph-
If it is between 2.0 & 5.9 then it is is a moderate Earthquake.But if it is between 7.0 & 9.0 then it is a great Earthquake.
Richter scale estimates the relative magnitude of an earthquake based on the 'largest seismic wave'.Large earthquakes produce waves thousands of times larger than weak ones.
The Richter magnitude scale (also Richter scale) assigns a magnitude number to quantify the energy released by an earthquake. The Richter scale is a base-10 logarithmic scale, which defines magnitude as the logarithm of the ratio of the amplitude of the seismic waves to an arbitrary, minor amplitude.
A seismograph is the device that scientists use to measure earthquakes. The goal of a seismograph is to accurately record the motion of the ground during a quake.
Seismology is the scientific study of earthquakes and the propagation of elastic waves through the Earth or through other planet-like bodies.
