Answer: Option B
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The Richter scale measures the maximum amplitude of seismic waves as they reach seismographs. This scale is expressed with a logarithmic scale. Thus, an earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale would be 10 times larger than an earthquake that measures 6.0.This Question Belongs to General Knowledge >> World Geography
