What is Understanding the Richter Magnitude Scale about?

The Richter magnitude scale quantifies the energy released by earthquakes on a base-10 logarithmic scale, where each whole number increase indicates a tenfold increase in shaking amplitude and a 32-fold increase in energy release. While no longer used by seismologists, earthquake magnitudes are commonly but incorrectly reported using the Richter scale terminology rather than the correct Moment Magnitude Scale.
