On Richter Scale 1-10.
Normally over 5-6 earthquakes are considered serious.

Dry Things are Measured...?
Dry solids, sugar, flour,
beans, etc are measured by Pounds (Imperial)
or Kilograms (Metric)
or in Bushel - a unit of dry
measure containing 4 pecks, equivalent in the US (and formerly in England) to
2150.42 cubic inches or 35.24 liters
(Winchester bushel) and in
Great Britain to 2219.36 cubic inches or 36.38 liters (Imperial bushel).
Liquid is
measured by...?
Liquids, milk, oil, water etc are measured by Gallons (Imperial), or Liters (Metric)
Crude oil is measured by Barrel - 42 US Gallons make a Barrel
Land, Floors, etc are Measured in Square
Land and floors etc are normally measured by feet and yards and furlong and miles
(Imperial)
or by Meters, Kilometers
(Metric) -- but in square (Length X Breadth)
Length and Distance on Land
Cloth, sticks, trees are measured by feet and yards and furlong and miles
or by Meters, Kilometers
(Metric)
Length and Distance in Sea
When one in sea or ocean the distance is measured by Nautical miles.
Nautical Mile is a unit of length that is about one minute of arc of latitude
measured along any meridian, or about one minute of arc of longitude at the
Equator (both at sea level). By international agreement it has been set at
1,852 meters exactly (about 6,076 feet).
Or 1.852 Meters (exactly), or
6076 feet approximately / 3 = 2025.3 yards =
Tanks, Boxes, Refrigerator in Cubic...
Tanks, Boxes and Refrigerators etc are measured by feet and yards and furlong and miles
or by meters, Kilometers
(Metric) -- but in cubic (Length X Breadth X Height)
Temperature
Temperature is measured by Fahrenheit or Celsius (Metric)
A human being's temperature should be 98.6 degree Fahrenheit or
36 degree Celsius
Water will boil at 212 degree Fahrenheit or at 100 degree
Celsius
Water will freeze at 32 degree Fahrenheit or
at 0 degree Celsius.
Time
Time is measured in Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks, Months, and Years.
60 Seconds = 1 Minute
60 Minutes = 1 Hour
24 Hours = 1 Day
7 Days = 1 Week
4 Weeks = 1 Month
12 Months = 1 Year
[52 Weeks = 1 Years]
What is AM and PM
Their full form is Ante Meridian (before Meridian) and Post Meridian (past
Meridian)
There is an International Time Line going from North to South.
It has been decided that the Sun rise starts from Japan. That is 0 degree
Longitude. When it strikes 12.00 AM there, there is 12,00 PM in London
The International Time Line passes through London. All time is calculated
from this Time Line.
To the
right or East
of International Time Line there is +1, +2 etc and to its left or West it is -1,
-2 etc.
Eg India is +5.30
hours from this Time Line - it means when 12 PM is in London, in India there
will be +5.30 hours later - means 5.30 PM.
American Eastern Time is -5 hours Time Line - in the same way at that time
in New York there will be 7 AM.

Noise
Noise is measured by Decibel (dB). Decibel is a logarithmic unit. A
decibel is 1/10th of a bel (deci + bel), a seldom-used unit named in honor
of Alexander Graham Bell.
Hotness of Pepper is Measured by...?
Hotness of pepper, or anything derived from hot chilies, is measured in
Scoville. In 1912, Wilbur L Scoville, a pharmacist, devised the first modern
technique for measuring a pepper’s bite. The measure is still used to this day
by spice companies and sauce manufacturers everywhere. In fact, if all known
peppers were measured using this technique, their scale of pungency would range
from 0 Scoville units, for the bell pepper, to 350,000 units, for the Mexican
habanero.

food is measured by....?
Power of the food is measured by Calories.
