World How earthquakes are measured

AP Earthquake magnitude is measured on a scale created by Charles F. Richter in 1934. The Richter scale is a numerical calculation with the number rising with the severity of the tremors. It has no upper limit and is based on a logarithmic scale (base 10,) which means intensity - and damage - increases tenfold with each whole number. A seismograph, pictured here, measures the intensity of earthquakes. PICTURES: Deadliest Earthquakes Earthquake magnitude is measured on a scale created by Charles F. Richter in 1934.

There are believed to be some 900,000 of these a year worldwide as the plates beneath the earth's surface shift.

Moderate: 5 - 5.9 Getty Images A moderate earthquake registers between 5 and 5.9 on the Richter scale and causes slight damage to buildings and other structures. There are about 500 of these around the globe every year. An earthquake of magnitude 5.5 struck the border between Quebec, seen here, and Ontario in June 2010. It caused very little damage but was felt across a broad swath of Canada and in several U.S. states including Michigan, Vermont and New York.
