The 18 pages that link to Logarithmic scale, each with the reason it gives.

• LogarithmNarrower topic: It is the general measurement principle behind decibels, pH, and other logarithmic quantities.

• MetallicityRelated: Abundances are commonly expressed in logarithmic form, with dex units marking powers of ten.

• Soil pHRelated: A one-unit pH change corresponds to a tenfold change in hydrogen-ion activity.

• Natural logarithmRelated: Natural logarithms convert ratios into differences, enabling such scales.

• John NapierRelated: Logarithmic thinking, made practical by Napier, underlies scales for quantities spanning wide ranges.

• Volcanic Explosivity IndexRelated: Adjacent VEI levels generally correspond to roughly tenfold changes in erupted volume.

• Order of magnitudeNarrower topic: It places successive powers of ten at equal intervals.

• Scatter plotRelated: Transforming an axis can reveal multiplicative patterns hidden on a linear scale.

• Common logarithmNarrower topic: Common logarithms can assign decimal positions to quantities spanning many powers of ten.

• Number lineCompared with: It contrasts with the number line’s usual equal-distance representation of additive differences.

• Binary logarithmRelated: Each unit on a base-2 logarithmic scale corresponds to doubling.

• Line chartRelated: It changes how multiplicative growth and values spanning wide ranges appear.

• Logarithmic differentiationCompared with: It also uses logarithms, but transforms measurement rather than simplifying a derivative.

• Henry BriggsRelated: Briggs’s base-10 system underlies the scales later used in instruments and scientific graphs.

• Richter scaleNarrower topic: The scale’s whole-number steps represent tenfold changes in wave amplitude.

• NeperNarrower topic: The neper is one unit on this broader kind of scale.

• Seismic magnitude scalesRelated: Magnitude values are logarithmic, so a one-unit increase represents a large change in wave amplitude.

• Charles RichterNarrower topic: Richter’s magnitude values increase logarithmically rather than in equal units of shaking.
