रिक्टर स्केल को ऐसे समझें
| रिक्टर स्केल | असर |
| 0 से 1.9 | सिर्फ सीज्मोग्राफ से ही पता चलता है। |
| 2 से 2.9 | हल्का कंपन। |
| 3 से 3.9 | कोई ट्रक आपके नजदीक से गुजर जाए, ऐसा असर। |
| 4 से 4.9 | खिड़कियां टूट सकती हैं। दीवारों पर टंगी फ्रेम गिर सकती हैं। |
| 5 से 5.9 | फर्नीचर हिल सकता है। |
| 6 से 6.9 | इमारतों की नींव दरक सकती है। ऊपरी मंजिलों को नुकसान हो सकता है। |
| 7 से 7.9 | इमारतें गिर जाती हैं। जमीन के अंदर पाइप फट जाते हैं। |
| 8 से 8.9 | इमारतों सहित बड़े पुल भी गिर जाते हैं। |
| 9 और उससे ज्यादा | पूरी तबाही। कोई मैदान में खड़ा हो तो उसे धरती लहराते हुए दिखेगी। समंदर नजदीक हो तो सुनामी। |
* भूकंप में रिक्टर पैमाने का हर स्केल पिछले स्केल के मुकाबले 10 गुना ज्यादा ताकतवर होता है।
