Logarithmic scales are a way of measuring and representing values that can cover a wide range, where each unit increase on the scale corresponds to a multiplication of the quantity rather than a simple addition. This means that on a logarithmic scale, each step represents a power of a base value, typically 10 (common logarithm) or \\( e \\) (natural logarithm).
