Trivia Question

Trivia Question: What scale is used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes?

Answer: The Richter Scale

The Richter Scale measures magnitude on a scale of 1-10. However, this scale is heavily relative due to its logarithmic nature. So, a magnitude 6 earthquake is exponentially stronger than a magnitude 5 earthquake which is, in turn, exponentially stronger than a magnitude 4 earthquake.
