Does the Richter scale measure intensity?
Yes it does. The Richter Scale measures intensity for earthquakes!!
Is seismograph a type of technology?
A seismograph is an instrument that measures the intensity of earthquakes. Seismograph technology would refer to the science involved with the design or improvement of the instrument.
What does the modified mercalli scale measure?
An earthquakes intensity
Difference between intensity and magnitude?
Magnitude is a measure of the energy released by the earthquake - it is an absolute value and does not vary with where it is measured. Intensity measures the strength of the shaking at a particular location and will vary with distance, substrate conditions and other factors. It is a subjective measure which depends on observation, not measurement. The reference below sets it all out for you.Is also an answer but here's another answer:This is my answer:D(Magnitude / Intensity Comparison)(Magnitude and Intensity measure different characteristics of earthquakes. Magnitude measures the energy released at the source of the earthquake. Magnitude is determined from measurements on seismographs while Intensity measures the strength of shaking produced by the earthquake at a certain location. Intensity is determined from effects on people, human structures, and the natural environment.)
What is specifically does the Richter scale measure?
Richter scale measures the ground motion from an earthquakes to find the earthquakes strength. mercalli scale measures expresses intensity in roman numerals from I to XII and provides a description of the effects of each earthquake intensity.
What is the Rithcher scale?
It measures an Earthquakes intensity
Does the Richter scale measure intensity?
Yes it does. The Richter Scale measures intensity for earthquakes!!
What is a tornado on the Richter scale?
That is impossible as the Richter scale is for measuring earthquakes.
What measures the intensity of earthquakes in terms of isotherms the Richter scale the Celsius scale or barometric pressure?
Richter scale
Why do we record seismic waves?
To try to predict earthquakes, and get advanced warning of them.
What number system is used to describe a quake?
There are two systems that measure earthquakes. The Richter scale measures the moment magnitude, and the Mercalli scale measures the intensity of an earthquake.
Why is the intensity value of an earthquake more meaningful than magnitude to a non scientist?
The magnitude measures the total energy release. The intensity measures the... well, the instantaneous "shock" felt by an observer.
What is a sesmograph?
A seismograph is an instrument used to record vibrations in or on a planet.
Is seismograph a type of technology?
A seismograph is an instrument that measures the intensity of earthquakes. Seismograph technology would refer to the science involved with the design or improvement of the instrument.
What scales uses roman numerals from 1 to 12 and a detailed description of the effects the earthquake has on people?
It is the Richter Magnitude Scale that measures the intensity of earthquakes.
What does the modified mercalli scale measure?
An earthquakes intensity
What is the richtor scale?
the scale used to measure the intensity of earthquakes
