What is moment magnitude scale?

The moment magnitude scale exists founded on the total moment release of the earthquake. The moment exists as a product of the distance a fault moved and the force needed to move it. It is derived from modeling recordings of the earthquake at numerous stations.

The moment magnitude scale evaluates the fault's geometry (the angle and other qualities of the plane that describe the fault that ruptures during an earthquake) and the earthquake's seismic moment (that exists, the displacement of the fault across its entire surface multiplied by the force utilized to push the fault).
