Answer:

B. Richter scale.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Richter scale is the scale used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake. The greater the earthquake, the sharper and longer the lines and the higher the peak and lower the draught. The smaller the earthquake, the more smooth and close to a line it would be.
