$\huge\mathbb\purple{A}\mathbb\blue{N}\mathbb\red{S}\mathbb\green{W}\mathbb\pink{E}\mathbb\purple{R}\blue{:-}$

Richter scale (ML), quantitative measure of an earthquake's magnitude (size), devised in 1935 by American seismologists Charles F. Richter and Beno Gutenberg. The earthquake's magnitude is determined using the logarithm of the amplitude (height) of the largest seismic wave calibrated to a scale by a seismograph.
