Click on the worksheet tabs at the bottom to access the decibel data. in The Richter Scale is a measurement that can be used to compare earthquake magnitudes based on the formula: R = log x 0.001 where R = the Richter scale value x = the intensity (strength) of an earthquake as registered on a seismograph Note that the Richter value, R, is a logarithm which means that it is an exponent (where the base is 10). Editorial Director, ECS: Marcia Horton THREE-FIGURE VALUE
In fact, the Richter Scale breaks down for very large seismic events, and a newer calculation has become more standard: the Moment Magnitude Scale (and the wikipedia article).
