There are two different seismic scale commonly used today. Magnitude scale measures the original energy of an earthquake, and Intensity scale measures the intensity of shaking occurring at any given point on the Earth's surface.
Richter magnitude scale, or Richter scale, assigns a magnitude number to quantify the energy released by an earthquake. It is a base-10 logarithmic scale. More info on Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richter_magnitude_scale
