Concepts of earthquake measurement and the earth's internal structure as read through seismic waves: Richter Magnitude Scale, Mohorovicic Discontinuity, Moment Magnitude Scale, Core-Mantle Boundary and Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale. Belongs here: a concept measuring earthquake size or intensity, or one describing an internal boundary of the earth defined by seismic evidence. Does not belong here: a concept about volcanic rather than seismic intensity, such as the Volcanic Explosivity Index, held under Volcanology instead.
