उत्तर
The Richter scale, which has readings from 1 to 10, calculates the destructive energy of an earthquake. A seismograph would record the reading of magnitude 3 on the Richter scale. If the Richter scale gives a reading of magnitude 3, then the earthquake is not likely to cause much damage. Generally, earthquakes of magnitudes higher than 5 are considered destructive in nature.
