Answer
The Richter scale is a measure of the strength of earthquakes, developed by Charles Francis Richter in 1935. It is based on the logarithm of the amplitude of seismic waves recorded by seismographs. The scale is logarithmic, meaning that each whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in the amplitude of the seismic waves.
