Answer:
Explanation:
A seismograph is an instrument that records the intensity of the earthquake waves. American seismologist Charles Richter designed the 'Richter scale'. It was invented in 1935. The Richter scale has a range of 0 to 9. The Richter scale clearly states that the force of the earthquake is ten times greater than that of the previous one if there is an increase of one point. All the earthquakes that measure six and above are termed as destructive.
