Detailed Solution

We use the Richter scale to calculate the speed of an earthquake. There are numbers from 1 to 10 on this scale, there is no upper limit on this scale. If the speed is 8 or more then it causes major devastation and if the intensity of the earthquake is from 5 to 5.9 then it is considered a mild tremor.
