Richter scale. Magnitude is a measure of the amount of energy released during an earthquake, and you've probably heard news reports about earthquake magnitudes measured using the Richter scale. Something like, A magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck Japan today. Details at ten..
Scales 1-3 have limited range and applicability and do not satisfactorily measure the size of the largest earthquakes. The moment magnitude (Mw) scale, based on the concept of seismic moment, is uniformly applicable to all sizes of earthquakes but is more difficult to compute than the other types. All magnitude scales should yield approximately the same value for any given earthquake. See also: Earthquake ABC. Compare the fault area of the magnitude 7.3 (top) with that of the magnitude 5.6 (smallest one near the bottom).
