Origin[]
Charles Francis Richter (/ˈrɪktər/); April 26, 1900 – September 30, 1985) was an American seismologist and physicist.
Richter is most famous as the creator of the Richter magnitude scale, which, until the development of the moment magnitude scale in 1979, quantified the size of earthquakes. Inspired by Kiyoo Wadati's 1928 paper on shallow and deep earthquakes, Richter first used the scale in 1935 after developing it in collaboration with Beno Gutenberg; both worked at the California Institute of Technology.
Effects[]
When the Seismograph is placed on the ground, it can reduce tremors to a near non existent rumble. Can also work for people having shakes or muscle tremors as well. Those in the surrounding area develop a strong distaste for logarithmic plots.
