Seismologists use two main devices to measure an earthquake: a seismograph and a seismoscope. The seismograph is an instrument that measures seismic waves caused by an earthquake. The seismograph has three main devices, the Richter Magnitude Scale, the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale, and the Moment-Magnitude Scale.
scientist The size of an earthquake depends on the size of the fault and the amount of slip on the fault, but scientists cant measure it with a tape because it is so deep in the ground. So how do they measure an earthquake? They use the seismogram recordings made on the seismographs at the surface of the earth to determine how large the earthquake was. A small wiggly line that does not wiggle a lot means a small earthquake, and a big wiggly line that wiggles a lot means a large earthquake.
