Richter magnitude scale degrees. formula_40 is mainly between 5 and 8. The Tsumura empirical formula: Where formula_42 is the total duration of oscillation in seconds. formula_40 is mainly between 3 and 5. The Tsuboi, University of Tokyo, empirical formula: Where formula_31 is the amplitude in micrometers. Richter magnitude scale The so-called Richter magnitude scale – more accurately, "Richter's magnitude scale", or just "Richter magnitude" – for measuring the strength ("size") of earthquakes refers to the original "magnitude scale" developed by Charles F. Richter and presented in his landmark 1935 paper, and later revised and renamed the Local magnitude scale, denoted as "ML" or
Kardashev scale Kardashev scale The Kardashev scale is a method of measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement based on the amount of energy a civilization is able to use. It was proposed by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev in 1964. The scale has three designated categories: The scale is hypothetical, and regards energy consumption on a cosmic scale. Various extensions of the scale have since been proposed, including a wider range of power levels (types 0, IV and V) and the use of metrics other than pure power. In 1964, Kardashev defined three levels of civilizations, based on the order of magnitude
