what is the scale used to measure the amount of energy released during an earthquake?
moment scale
dresseli scale
richter scale
mercalli scale

Explanation:

The Richter scale measures the magnitude (energy released) of an earthquake. The Mercalli scale measures the intensity (effects on people and structures). The Dresseli scale is not a standard earthquake - related scale. The moment scale is also a measure of earthquake magnitude but is more complex and based on seismic moment. The Richter scale is a commonly known scale for earthquake magnitude (energy release).

Richter scale
