ML (Local Magnitude)


ML (Local Magnitude) :

A numerical calculation that defines the strength (magnitude) of an earthquake based on seismograms from recording stations within a 600 km radius; also commonly known as Richter magnitude. As initially defined by Charles Richter, ML represented the largest deflection of the needle on a standard seismograph at a distance of 100 km from the epicentre of a shallow earthquake that was recorded in southern California
