This looks pretty. Let’s see if I can copy it here.
Apologies in advance to NZ.

Open in new tab then click and it’s readable.
As for lack of NZ, typical bloody Merkins.

Much of the news media.
From TATE:
“Because of various shortcomings of the original ML scale, most seismological authorities now use other similar scales such as the moment magnitude scale (Mw ) to report earthquake magnitudes, but much of the news media still erroneously refers to these as “Richter” magnitudes. All magnitude scales retain the logarithmic character of the original and are scaled to have roughly comparable numeric values (typically in the middle of the scale). “
