Match the earthquake measuring instrument with its correct description.

strength of larger earthquakes; measurement is based on multiple variables

effects of an earthquake; measurement can vary from place to place

strength of an earthquake; measurement is based on the size of seismic waves

1. richter scale
2. moment magnitude scale
3. mercalli intensity scale

Richter scale - measures strength of an earthquake; measurement is based on the size of seismic waves

moment magnitude-measures strength of larger earthquakes; measurement is based on multiple variables

Mercalli intensity scale-measures effects of an earthquake; measurement can vary from place to place

these include the fossil fuels, oil, natural gas, and coal and nuclear energy. hope this ! ^.^
