Earthquake magnitude is a measure of the energy released during an earthquake. It is determined using seismographs, which measure the amplitude and frequency of seismic waves. Magnitude is expressed on the Richter scale, which ranges from 1 to 10. Each increase of one on the scale represents a tenfold increase in the amplitude of the seismic waves and a thirty-fold increase in the energy released. Magnitude is influenced by the size and type of fault that caused the earthquake.
