A scale or a balance would be used to measure weight in pounds.
The richter scale is used by scientists to measure the amount of energy release by an earthquake.
PAGASA (Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration) uses the Richter scale to measure the intensity of earthquakes. This scale is a logarithmic scale that quantifies the energy released by an earthquake.
