Answer:
It measures the magnitude of an earthquake
Explanation:
The Richter's scale is used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake. Based on this scale, we can identify the expected damage a type of earthquake will produce based on its magnitude.
- The intensity of the seismic event is usually captured by this scale.
- It measures the maximum amplitude of the wave as it approaches a seismic station.
- The scale is a logarithmic scale
- The actual magnitude is ten times larger.
