Response in English: The magnitude of an earthquake is typically measured using a logarithmic scale called the Richter scale, which calculates the amplitude of the seismic waves produced by the earthquake, recorded by a seismograph. This data is used to calculate the magnitude of the earthquake, which can range from 1 to 9 or higher, with each whole number increase on the scale representing a 10-fold increase in amplitude of the seismic waves. The moment magnitude scale MMS is another commonly used measure, which calculates the total energy released by the earthquake based upon various parameters, including the rigidity of the Earths crust and the area of the fault that ruptures. . Response in Sesotho: Boholo ba tšisinyeho ea lefatše hangata bo lekanngoa ho sebelisoa sekala sa logarithmic se bitsoang Richter scale, se lekanyetsang boholo ba maqhubu a tšisinyeho ea lefatše a hlahisoang ke tšisinyeho ea lefatše, e tlalehiloeng ke seismograph.
