The Richter scale calculates an earthquake's magnitude (size) from the amplitude of the earthquake's largest seismic wave recorded by a seismograph. On the original Richter scale, the smallest earthquakes measurable at that time were assigned values close to zero on the seismograph of the period.

Roses are red violet are blue nothing can compare to the lovè i have for u plss protect me from harm keep me safe in your arm your the best person ever we look great forever~ Hugòt yan haha
The Richter scale measures the largest wiggle (amplitude) on the recording, but other magnitude scales measure different parts of the earthquake. The USGS currently reports earthquake magnitudes using the Moment Magnitude scale, though many other magnitudes are calculated for research and comparison purposes.
