Question 9 • DRHS GA-GSE Earth Systems
The moment magnitude scale estimates an earthquake’s size using measurements of seismic waves recorded by seismographs, along with information about the fault that moved. It can describe earthquakes of many sizes, not only small ones, and it does not directly measure the damage they cause. Therefore, “It uses data collected by a seismograph” is correct.
