Hey there!
★ FIRST KNOW WHAT A SEISMOGRAPH IS ??
A Seismograph is the device that scientists use to measure earthquakes. The goal of a seismograph is to accurately record the motion of the ground during a quake.
★ WHAT'S A RICHTER SCALE & IT'S FUNTION:
The Richter scale is a standard scale used to compare earthquakes. It is a logarithmic scale, meaning that the numbers on the scale measure factors of 10.
For Example,
An earthquake that measures 3.0 on the Richter scale is 10 times larger than one that measures 2.0. On the Richter scale, anything below 2.0 is undetectable to a normal person and is called a Microquake.
Microquakes occur constantly. Moderate earthquakes measure less than 6.0 or so on the Richter scale.
Earthquakes measuring more than 7.0 can cause significant damage.
