	Charles F. Richter Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Charles F. Richter (1900-1985) was one of the developers of the Richter Scale which is used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes.
		Charles Francis Richter was born on April 26, 1900, on a farm near Hamilton, Ohio, north of Cincinnati.
		Richter did not seem concerned that Gutenberg's name was not included at first; but in later years, after Gutenberg was already dead, Richter began to insist that his colleague be recognized for expanding the scale to apply to earthquakes all over the globe, not just in southern California.

		RICHTER SCALE [Richter scale], measure of the magnitude of seismic waves from an earthquake, devised in 1935 by the American seismologist Charles F. Richter (1900-1985).
		The famous San Francisco earthquake of 1906 was 7.8 on the Richter scale; the Alaskan earthquake of 1964 was 8.4; the Kobe, Japan, quake of 1995 was 6.9; and the Izmit, Turkey, earthquake of 1999 was 7.4.

		Born in Hamilton, Ohio, Richter was educated at the University of Southern California, Stanford, and the California Institute of Technology, where he obtained his PhD in 1928.
		Richter developed his scale to measure the strength of earthquakes in 1935.
		Richter's scale is an absolute one, based on the amplitude of the waves produced by the earthquake.

	The Gutenberg Richter Law
		Charles Richter developed the main scale that is used today.
		On the Richter scale, the magnitude (M) of an earthquake is proportional to the log of the maximum amplitude of the earths motion.
		What this means is that if the earth moves one millimeter in a magnitude 2 earthquake, it will move 10 millimeters in a magnitude 3 earthquake, 100 millimeters in a magnitude 4 earthquake, and 10 meters (33 feet!) in a magnitude 6 earthquake.

	Charles Francis Richter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Charles Francis Richter (April 26, 1900 – September 30, 1985), was an American seismologist, born in Hamilton, Ohio.
		He is most famous as the creator of the Richter magnitude scale, which quantifies the size of earthquakes.
		The quote "logarithmic plots are a device of the devil" is attributed to Richter.

		On April 26, 1900, Charles Francis Richter, a renowned seismologist and developer of the Richter Scale, was born on a farm near Hamilton.
		Richter moved to California with his mother when he was 16 and entered the University of Southern California the following year.
		The Richter Scale measured the magnitude of an earthquake based on the height of seismic waves released as it occurs.

	Hough, S.E.: Richter's Scale: Measure of an Earthquake, Measure of a Man.
		By developing the scale that bears his name, Charles Richter not only invented the concept of magnitude as a measure of earthquake size, he turned himself into nothing less than a household word.
		Drawing on the wealth of papers Richter left behind, as well as dozens of interviews with his family and colleagues, Susan Hough takes the reader deep into Richter's complex life story, setting it in the context of his family and interpersonal attachments, his academic career, and the history of seismology.
		Among his colleagues Richter was known as intensely private, passionately interested in earthquakes, and iconoclastic.

	Earthquake Hazards Program: An Interview with Charles F. Richter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Charles F. Richter, renowned seismologist, is a professor emeritus at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech).
		He is best known to the public for the Richter magnitude scale; but he is equally recognized in the scientific community for many other contributions to seismology including his books Elementary Seismology (1958) and Seismicity of the Earth (coauthored in 1954 with Beno Gutenberg).
		For deep-focus earthquakes, it has been shown that Gutenberg's results were distorted by the comparatively large loss of energy in body waves from shallow earthquakes when they pass out of and back into the crust.

	How Are Earthquake Magnitudes Measured?
		The Richter magnitude is calculated from the amplitude of the largest seismic wave recorded for the earthquake, no matter what type of wave was the strongest.
		What this means is that for each whole number you go up on the Richter scale, the amplitude of the ground motion recorded by a seismograph goes up ten times.
		Although Richter originally proposed this way of measuring an earthquake's "size," he only used a certain type of seismograph and measured shallow earthquakes in Southern California.

	Richter Earthquake Scale
		The Richter scale was created in 1935 by the American seismologist Charles F. Richter.
		Richter magnitudes increase logarithmically, meaning the energy increases 10 times for each magnitude number.
		Mercalli intensity is based upon observations of the resulting earthquake damage and not actually measured on instruments.

		A pioneer in seismology and active in the seismology and earthquake engineering fields for over fifty years, Richter’s name is known for the earthquake magnitude scale he developed in the 1930s for local earthquakes.
		In 1937 he joined the Caltech faculty and worked alongside Harry Wood in the Seismological Laboratory, which that year was transferred to Caltech from the Carnegie Institution of Washington and was situated in the San Rafael area of Pasadena.
