Ok say ask any budding geographer how do you measure tectonic events and they will probably quote: Richter scale, Fujitsu scale, may be the Mercalli or even the VEI...but are some of these too out of date - according to topical popular science programme like QI they are!
Tectonic recording and measurements now focus and refer to the following:
VEI
Moment magnitude scale
Sieberg-Ambraseys Tsunami Intensity Scale
Mercalli
Interesting..no..?
