Answer 2

The correct answer is: the Richter scale.

The Richter scale measures the intensity of an earthquake in a 10-fold way, which means that an Earthquake of 2.0 is ten times stronger than one which is 1.0 on the Richter scale. (Earthquakes with 1-3 on the Richter scale are still quite common).
