@ThePrint : Kindly don't use 'Richter Scale' to describe earthquake intensities anymore. It is an old system. One uses 'Magnitude' to describe earthquake intensity in present times.
Eh use shindo when near Japan, it's how one determines how much was done in a certain area. Magnitude is great for determining just how much energy was released though, so I'd recommend both
*Allah, who has created this earth and heaven you can only analyse through study and observations that how it will happen but can not give the reason why such earth quake happens*
muslims has issues with athiest communists, hindus, christians, jews, buddhist, jains and even little known religions too..................SAVE US FROM MUSLIMS much?
