C.F. Richter developed the Richter scale in 1935, a logarithmic scale used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes. This scale quantifies the energy released at the earthquake's source, providing a way to compare the size of different earthquakes. The Richter scale has since been largely replaced by the Moment Magnitude Scale (Mw) for more accurate measurements, especially for larger events. Nonetheless, Richter's work laid the foundation for modern seismology.
