1 to 12, 12 being its worst.Less than 2 is unable to felt by humans, 2 and 3 can be felt several kilometers away from the center of the earthquake, 4 and 5will cause damage to poorly structured buildings, 6 and 7the death tool would usually be between 1 and 25,000, 8 and 9 large damage to area, 10+ heavy, widespread/colossal damage in open areas

Hope that helped :)

Are there different levels of volcanoes?

There are three main types of volcano that erupt in different ways, bu these are not levels. There are levels of volcanic eruption on the Volcani Explosivity Index. The scale reanges from VEI-0 for non-explosive eruptions to VEI-8 for the largest super eruptions. Each level on the scale indcates and eruption an order of magnitude large than the one below it.
