A logarithmic scale spaces values by their logarithm rather than by their size, so each fixed step multiplies the quantity by a constant factor:
\[ 1,\; 10,\; 100,\; 1000 \;\longrightarrow\; 0,\; 1,\; 2,\; 3 \]
That is what lets a single axis hold a range spanning many orders of magnitude. The decibel, the Richter scale and pH all work this way. Non linear scale is true of a logarithmic scale but describes a whole family rather than naming this one.
