According to the geologist, the magnitude of the Richter reveals the magnitude of an earthquake, by number. In this measure, earthquake of any number is 10 times stronger than the previous number.

On the 0-1.9 Richter scale, 2-2.9 Richter scale and 3-3.9 Richter scale, there is no likelihood of any damage when an earthquake occurs. A little vibration is felt.

However, the earthquake of 4-4.9 Richter scale could break the doors and windows. 5-5.9 If the earthquake occurs on the Richter scale, the junk may start in the furniture furnace sheet. When an earthquake occurs on the Richter scale of 6-6.9, the upper floors of the house may be damaged. When an earthquake hits the 7-7.9 Richter scale, the house may collapse. On 8-8.9 Richter scale earthquake, large buildings, big bridges can be broken. If there is tremor 9 or more, it is a terrible loss. If the ocean is near, tsunami can be.

Therefore, how severe the earthquake can be, it can be understood by measuring the scale of the Richter scale.more details click here
