Question

If an earthquake measures 10^4, what does it measure on the Richter scale?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Richter scale and how it measures earthquake magnitude. The Richter scale calculates an earthquake's magnitude (size) from the amplitude of the earthquake's largest seismic wave recorded by a seismograph. ... (That is, an earthquake measuring 5.0 releases 31 times more energy than an earthquake measuring 4.0.)
