Question

The Richter Scale does not have any upper limits. Give reason ​

Answer 1

Devised in 1935 by the American seismologist Charles F.

Numbers for the Richter scale range from 0 to 9, though no real upper limit exists. An earthquake whose magnitude is greater than 4.5 on this scale can cause damage to buildings and other structures; severe earthquakes have magnitudes greater than 7.
