The Richter scale is a logarithmic scale used to measure the "size" of an earthquake. It defines the magnitude of the earthquake to be the logarithm of the ratio of the the amplitude of the seismic wave to an arbitrary amplitude. Wow that was a mouthful and I think I understand less about the Richter scale now.
