There are a number of earthquake magnitude scales, including the moment magnitude scale (the scale currently favoured by seismologists), the Richter or local magnitude scale and the surface wave magnitude scale.


What is the scale that rates earthquakes?

The Richter scale. For larger earthquakes (magnitude greater than 7) and for those with an epicentral distance greater than 700 km from the seismometer station, the Moment magnitude scale is used.


Does the Richter scale cause earthquakes?

No. The Richter scale is a way for scientists to describe how much energy was released by an earthquake (this is known as the earthquakes magnitude).
