Question

Richard scale is not a linear scale. explain this statement.​

Answer 1

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Richter scale is used to measure the size of an earthquake ( In Richter scale magnitude is found on the basis of amount of ground shaking). It gives a quantitative value (1, 2.1 , 3, 4 etc.) But here the size magnitude ML =2 earthquake is not twice than that of ML=1 .

Answer 2

Answer:

Ritchter scale is a device which is used to measure the intensity of an earthquake. On this scale the vibration of an earthquake with a magnitude of 2 are 10 times greater in amplitude than those of an earthquake with magnitude of 1, this is the reason, why the Ritchter scale is not considered asca linear scale.
