How does the Richter scale differ from the Marcalli intensity scale?
The Richter scale measures the magnitude of an earthquake based on the amplitude of seismic waves, while the Mercalli intensity scale evaluates the intensity of shaking and damage at a specific location. The Richter scale provides a quantitative measure, while the Mercalli scale is more qualitative and descriptive.
What is the name of the scale that measures earthquakes?
The Richter scale was originally developed to measure the strength or magnitude of moderate earthquakes (magnitudes less than 7). The surface wave magnitude scale was then developed by Richter and Guttenburg to allow larger earthquake magnitudes to be measured (up to 8). To measure large earthquakes the moment magnitude scale must be used. To measure the severity of earthquakes, the Modified Mercalli intensity scale is used in the US and the Macroseismic scale is used in Europe.
Can a scale measure balance?
No, it only can measure weight.
