Earthquake Severity: What you should know about earthquake magnitudes & damage it can cause
The severity of an earthquake is measured on a Richter scale. It is logarithmic scale that measures the magnitude of an earthquake. The scale ranges from 1 to 10, with each increase in number indicating a tenfold increase in ground motion. For example, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7 is ten times more powerful than an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.
