An earthquake measures 2 on the Ritcher scale, would it be recorded by seismograph?
Answer :
The Richter scale measures the intensity of the earthquake on the scale of 1-10. A measure of 2 means that the earthquake is very minor and almost no loss has been there. It will not be recorded by the seismograph because the intensity or tectonic movements of plates is very less.
