The Richter scale, invented by Charles F. Richter in 1935, is a tool for comparing earthquakes. It calculates their size by determining the magnitude, which means the seismic energy released at the quake's origin. Instead of a linear progression, the scale is logarithmic. Each step up by one whole number signifies an increase in measured amplitude by ten times and about 31.6 times more energy unleashed.
