Learn how the moment magnitude scale (MMS) measures earthquake size based on seismic moment, and how it relates to other magnitude scales. Find out the history, definition, and subtypes of MMS, and see examples and comparisons.
Learn how the Richter scale, the moment magnitude scale, and other magnitude scales are derived from seismic data and how they relate to earthquake size and energy release. Find out the advantages and limitations of each scale and why there are so many of them.
Learn how moment magnitude (MW) measures the size of earthquakes based on their seismic moment and fault geometry. Compare MW with other scales and avoid magnitude saturation for large events.
Learn how scientists measure earthquake magnitude using seismic waves and seismic moment. Compare the advantages and limitations of the moment magnitude scale and the Richter scale.
Learn about the Richter scale and the Moment Magnitude Scale (MMS), two logarithmic scales that measure the magnitude and energy of earthquakes. The MMS is more accurate and comprehensive for larger quakes and based on the seismic moment of the fault slip.
Learn how scientists measure the size and strength of earthquakes using the moment magnitude scale and the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale. Find out how seismic networks, seismograms, and citizen science contribute to earthquake research.
The moment magnitude scale is a logarithmic scale used to measure the energy released during an earthquake, providing a more accurate assessment of an earthquake's size compared to previous scales.
