Intensity like signal strength will generally fall off with distance from the source — Charles Francis Richter
I usually point out that most loss of life and property has been due to the collapse — Charles Francis Richter
I repeatedly have to correct this belief. In a sense, magnitude involves steps of — Charles Francis Richter
I suggested that we might compare earthquakes in terms of the measured amplitudes — Charles Francis Richter
For example, some stars put out large amounts of energy in the infrared part — Charles Francis Richter
From here, it becomes an engineering problem; the engineer considers the ground — Charles Francis Richter
Emphasis was usually put on the horizontal acceleration factor, for the simple reason that — Charles Francis Richter
Incidentally, the usual designation of the magnitude scale to my name does less than justice — Charles Francis Richter
In every area of the world where there is earthquake risk, there are still many buildings of this — Charles Francis Richter
If the assumptions used in calculating energy are changed, then this seriously affects the final result — Charles Francis Richter
If one introduces the concept of energy of an earthquake then that is a theoretically derived quantity. — Charles Francis Richter
This is very similar to astronomy where different magnitudes are assigned to the — Charles Francis Richter
Refining is inevitable in science when you have made measurements of a phenomenon for a long period of time. — Charles Francis Richter
