While many people have heard about the Richter scale to measure the size of the earthquake, the current standard is a minute size scale.
“The Richter scale is an old scale developed for California. It is only good for smaller quakes, and is not very good at differentialing the sizes of bigger shocks,” said Bill McGuire, Emeritus Professor of Geophysical and Climate Hazards at University College London.
To usgs website notesThe minute size system is based on a strong rock where slip occurred in the floor of the fault, which faded, and the distance of the fault moved.
“Thus, stronger rock material or a greater area or movement in the earthquake, and every contributing to produce major size,” adds.
However, as a scale range of magnitude scale is logarithmic, what is increased by the size of a single unit in a level of land shook involved increases x-fold.
“It is a major moved by some standard, and its impact is a far worse by the fact that it was very shallow – only about 10km down. If he had 100km high, the impact would be much less as height.
But he added, measurements and vary dependent on areas of seismic arrays used.
According to China Networks Center The myanmar earthquake reached 7.9 size, with tremors felt in China’s South-West Yunnan province.

In the Indian plate moving in the north by the fault at Eurasian plate,” said Bill McGuireEmeritus Professor of Geophysical and climate disciples University College London.
The USGs says the country has more similar to many similar strike earthquakes in the past, with six occurring in about 250km of current terraemot since 1900, which size 7 or more.
