If an earthquake is 600000000 times as intense as a 0-level earthquake, what is the Richter scale ranking of this earthquake is 8.8 Richter scale.
A/Q I/ IO = 600000000
M= log( I/ IO) = log ( 600000000)
= 8.8 Richter scale
The primary earthquake measuring instrument is a seismograph. The seismograph records the ground motion caused by seismic waves as a digital graphic. Charles F. Richter created the first widely used method, the Richter scale, in 1934. It calculated the magnitude of the earthquake using a calculation based on the amplitude of the largest wave documented on a specific type of seismometer as well as the range between the earthquake and the seismometer.
