nothing at all
The measure of how much damage an earthquake causes on the surface is determined by the earthquake magnitude and the distance from the epicenter. Earthquake damage can also be influenced by local geology and infrastructure resilience. The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale is commonly used to assess the level of shaking and resulting damage.
Mercalli Scale
It means how much damage it causes.
No, an earthquake cannot destroy the Earth. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates on the Earth's surface, but they are localized events that do not have the strength to destroy the entire planet.
The earthquake caused an estimated $20 billion in damage.
It depends how many times an earthquake occurs and how much damage happens and how strong it is.....
The cost to fix the damage from Haiti's earthquake in 2010 was estimated to be around $7.8 billion.
