Question
- what information does the richter scale tell us?
Brief Explanations
The Richter scale is a logarithmic scale used in seismology (a sub - field of Earth Sciences, which is related to Natural Science). It measures the magnitude (size or strength) of an earthquake. The magnitude is calculated based on the amplitude of the seismic waves recorded by seismographs. A higher Richter scale number indicates a more powerful earthquake.
