The Answer Is False. A seismometer detects the vibrations caused by an earthquake. It plots these vibrations on a seismograph. The strength, or magnitude, of an earthquake is measured using the Richter scale. The Richter scale is numbered 0-10.

It would not be the richter scale, so the answer would be false, it would be the Mercalli scale
