The Richter scale is best used to measure the strength of small, nearby earthquakes.
The moment magnitude scale is useful for measuring the strength of earthquakes of all sizes and at all distances from a seismograph.
The Richter scale is used in measuring the magnitude of an earthquake. It calculates the magnitude of the earthquake from the earthquake's amplitude. The scale then measures the largest amplitude that's on the recording.
Also, the moment magnitude scale is useful for measuring the strength of earthquakes of all sizes. It is based on the total moment release of the earthquake.
