Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to further develop issues related to magnitude, as a measure of earthquake strength, focusing on the relationship between magnitude and seismic energy. It also presents a brief history of the scientific activity of personalities who analysed seismic energy vs. magnitude and provided certain numerical calculations of them. They also established well-known magnitude scales: Richter and the seismic moment.
