The richter magnitude/scale is the most common scale on which earthquakes larger than approximately 5 are reported for the entire globe.
At the Earth's surface, earthquakes makes themselves by shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground. When the epicenter of a large earthquake is located offshore, the seabed may be displaced sufficiently to cause a tsunami. Earthquakes can also trigger landslides, and occasionally volcanic activity.
