Question

how do we measure an earthquake ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Heyaa♡♡

Here is the answer -

It is measured using a machine called a seismometer which produces a seismograph. ... The Richter scale is not very accurate in measuring these larger earthquakes and today scientists use the Moment Magnitude Scale which uses the same logarithmic scale but which more accurately measures the strength of larger earthquakes

Hope it helped you.

Answer 2

there is a device known as seismograph by the helps of which we can measure earthquake.

(CNN) Earthquakes are measured using seismographs, which monitor the seismic waves that travel through the Earth after an earthquake strikes.

Scientists used the Richter Scale for many years but now largely follow the "moment magnitude scale," which the U.S. Geological Survey says is a more accurate measure of size.
