Richter scale & the damage done:
0 to 1.9: only visible to Seismograph
2 to 2.9: Light shaking can be felt
3 to 3.9: The vibrations get stronger
4 to 4.9: Window panes can break and photo frames on walls can fall
5 to 5.9: Furniture starts moving from its place
6 to 6.9: Foundations of buildings can be displaced
7 to 7.9: Buildings can fall
8 to 8.9: Larger edifices like bridges can be damaged and fall
9 Plus: Everything that has been built buy human hands can get destroyed
the force of quake between 1 to 2 is 10 times and between 6 TO 7 is also TEN times the force at 6.
THIS CAN BE IMAGINE HOW DESTRUCTIVE IT IS WHEN FORCE IS FROM ONE NUMBER TO NEXT AND IS TEN TIMES THAN EARLIER NUMBER.
