The moment magnitude scale (MMS; denoted explicitly with M or Mw  or Mwg, and generally implied with use of a single M for magnitude) is a measure of an...

ML  scale, most seismological authorities now use other similar scales such as the moment magnitude scale (Mw ) to report earthquake magnitudes, but...

Seismic magnitude scales are used to describe the overall strength or "size" of an earthquake. These are distinguished from seismic intensity scales that...

accidents. The scale is intended to be logarithmic, similar to the moment magnitude scale that is used to describe the comparative magnitude of earthquakes...

Seismic magnitude scales, the energy in an earthquake, measures include: Moment magnitude scale, based on seismic moment, supersedes the Richter scale Richter...

intensity scale (MM, MMI, or MCS) measures the effects of an earthquake at a given location. This is in contrast with the seismic magnitude usually reported...

commonly used logarithmic scales, where a larger quantity results in a higher value: Richter magnitude scale and moment magnitude scale (MMS) for strength of...

and one of the creators of the Richter magnitude scale, which, until the development of the moment magnitude scale in 1979, was widely used to quantify...

seismic moment is M0=12(Mij2)1/2{\displaystyle M_{0}={\frac {1}{\sqrt {2}}}(M_{ij}^{2})^{1/2}} Richter magnitude scale Moment magnitude scale Aki, Keiiti...

magnitude is measured on the Richter magnitude scale (ML) or the moment magnitude scale (Mw), or the surface wave magnitude scale (Ms) for very old earthquakes...
