Question

What is the unit of measuring earthquakes?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Seismologists now measure earthquakes by the seismic moment (M0), which has the units of energy: N-m (Newton-meter) or dyne-centimeter. The seismic moment is also converted to a logarithmic moment-magnitude scale that was designed to match the magnitude scale developed by Charles Richter. The moment-magnitude scale (Mw) does not have units because it is logarithmic, so an Mw 7 earthquake releases 31 times more energy than an Mw 6 earthquake. The magnitude usually reported is Mw

Answer 2

Answer:

magnitude

is unit for measuring earthquake
