Logarithmic scale
Removed non-sensical sentence about speed of earthquakes. The rest of the sentence seemed redundant: the use of logarithmic scales in seismology is already mentioned above (earthquake magnitude scales).

Moment magnitude scale
No citation needed. The equation derives straight from the two equations above, as explained in Kanamori 1977. The coefficient is different than in Kanamori 1983 because of our use of SI units here.

→Moment magnitude scale: Correcting values of coefficients. They were correct before August 6 2018. The equations for Mw, ML and M0 must have 9.1, 9.0 and 9.05, respectively. The text explains the history of how the coefficient came to be 9.05.
