Let us tell you that the Richter scale is used to measure the intensity of an earthquake. It was discovered by American scientists Charles Richter and Beno Guterberg in 1935. The Richter scale was originally designed to measure the magnitude of an earthquake. The idea was to express the intensity of the earthquake in a number so that it could be compared with other earthquakes.

In an earthquake, each scale of the Richter scale is 10 times more powerful than the previous scale. Scientists say that it is not possible to predict an earthquake with full accuracy, but it can definitely be detected in which area beneath the earth and between which plates there is more movement.
