Magnitude scales measure the inherent force or strength of an earthquake – an event occurring at greater or lesser depth.
Decibel. The decibel (symbol: dB) is a relative unit of measurement equal to one tenth of a bel ( B ). It expresses the ratio of two values of a power or root-power quantity on a logarithmic scale. Two signals whose levels differ by one decibel have a power ratio of 10 1/10 (approximately 1.26) or root-power ratio of 10 1/20 (approximately 1.12 ).

Long and short scales, how powers of ten are named and grouped in large numbers. Scale parameter, a description of the spread or dispersion of a probability distribution.
