Question

what is Richter scales ?

Answer 1

hlo mate......

answer is .......

a numerical scale for expressing the magnitude of an earthquake on the basis of seismograph oscillations. The more destructive earthquakes typically have magnitudes between about 5.5 and 8.9; it is a logarithmic scale and a difference of one represents an approximate thirtyfold difference in magnitude.

pls follow me

Answer 2

A numerical scale for expressing the magnitude of an earthquake on the basis of seismograph oscillations is called Richter scale. The more destructive earthquakes typically have magnitudes between about 5.5 and 8.9; it is a logarithmic scale and a difference of one represents an approximate thirtyfold difference in magnitude


It was invented in 1935 by Charles F.Richter of the California Institute of Technology as a mathematical device to compare the size of earthquakes.
