The size of what natural disaster is not necessarily an indication of its intensity?
The size of a hurricane and a tornado does not necessarily indicate the intensity of the natural disaster.
What is the highest rating on the Mercalli Scale and what are the symptoms of an earthquake of this intensity?
The Modified Mercalli intensity scale ranges from 1 to 12 (I - XII), with XII being described as cataclysmic. This leads to total destruction of nearly all structures. The ground surface will potentially have permanently changed level by several metres. The ground's surface moves with visible waves or ripples while the earthquake is occurring.
How does a radar track a storm?
the newest Doppler radar can indicate the precise localitation, movement and extent of a storm.it can also indicate the intensity of precipitation and wind patterns within a storm
What happens if you place a thermometer in any wavelength of visible spectrum?
Depending on the intensity of the light the thermometer should indicate an increase in temperature.
What is the name of sound intensity?
Sound intensity is mesured in decibels !
What is the mercalli rating for total destruction?
Intensity 12 (XII)
What level of damage is caused by an earthquake with an intensity level of XII?
Total Destruction
The size of what natural disaster is not necessarily an indication of its intensity?
The size of a hurricane and a tornado does not necessarily indicate the intensity of the natural disaster.
What does an exclamation point do?
It indicates intensity of emotion or loudness, and can indicate a writers astonishment
What was the intensity of the earthquake in Japan on the Mercalli scale?
It, cannot be 15 because the Mercalli scale maxes up at XII (12) Which is total destruction.
What would be the result of an earthquake with an intensity of XII?
Everyone would die a horrible death and the zombies would come and kill all survivors

What does the intensity of light bulb indicate?
It indicates that the light bulb must be high of voltage trough the current......
Is it true that an intensity- XII earthquake would cause a little destruction?
No, this earthquake is rated highest on the mercalli scale and thus would cause huge amounts of destruction
What factors determined an earthquake's intensity on the modified Mercalli scale?
The Modified Mercalli Intensity scale is used in the US to determine the severity of earthquake effects. Intensity ratings are in Roman numerals, I - meaning no people felt movement, all the way up to XII - where almost everything is destroyed.The amount of structural and geological damage done by an earthquake in a specific location determines an earthquake's intensity on the Mercalli scale. :)
