Richter Scale is the scale to measure the intensity of an earthquake
prachiptthakk:
Magnitude 8 or greater: Great earthquake. Can cause serious damage in areas several hundred kilometers across. Earthquakes are also measured by the Mercalli Intensity Scale which is a longer, more detailed scale. Both the Richter Scale and the Mercalli Scale can be seen on the U.S. Geological Survey website.
