The correct option is D Seven
The scale of measurement for earthquakes is called the Richter scale. The Richter scale has numbers from 1 to 10. Each of these numbers signifies the magnitude of an earthquake. Earthquakes below a 2.0 on the Richter scale can barely be felt. Those earthquakes over 5.0 may cause things to fall. And all those above 7 on Richter scale are considered as major earthquakes.
