WhatOnEarth.com presents... The Torino Scale |
| As we enter the new millennium, the Torino Scale is Earth's new way to gauge the potential damage that may occur in the event of an impact from asteroids or other objects from space. As the Richter Scale measures the strength and potential damage from earth quakes, the Torino Scale will now be used to measure the potential for damage from objects striking Earth. |
