earthquake
moment magnitude scale
measures the size of events in terms of how much energy is released. Specifically, moment magnitude relates to the amount of movement by rock and the area of the fault or fracture surface. Calculated values can be easily compared to magnitude values for other events. The moment magnitude is also a more accurate scale for describing the size of events.
hurricane
Saffir-Simpson
This scale was first developed in the late 1960s and was further developed in the early 1970s. It uses measurements in pressure, wind speed, storm surge and damage potential to put hurricanes into 5 categories
