Question

what is richter scale? why do we say that is not a linear scale?

Answer 1

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.

Hope it helps!! If it does, please mark as brainliest.
