What else can I help you with?
Which do you think is more important to measure an earthquakes intensity or strength?
intensity
What does the mercallic scale measure?
An earthquakes intensity
What is the Rithcher scale?
It measures an Earthquakes intensity
What scale gives the intensity of earthquakes?
Richter scale is used to measure earthquakes magnitude Shake intensity is measured on the Mercalli scale
Have tsunamis scale of Richter?
No. The Richter Scale rates the intensity of earthquakes. There is not intensity scale for tsunamis.
What is the instrument that can measure the intensity of earthquakes?
A seismogragh and/or seismometer.
Where is an earthquakes maximum intensity usually felt?
at the epicenter
What is the measurement and the units of the earthquakes intensity?
The intensity of an earthquake is measured using the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale, which ranges from I (not felt) to XII (total destruction). Unlike magnitude scales, which quantify the energy released, intensity measures the effects of an earthquake at specific locations, taking into account factors like building structures and distance from the epicenter. The units of this scale are qualitative descriptors rather than numerical values.
Are all earthquakes the same?
No. Earthquakes differ in cause (strike-slip, megathrust, volcanic, etc.) and in intensity.
How do geologists learn about how the block of rock along a fault move?
They map the earthquakes intensity and where the past earthquakes were.
Which instrument is commonly used to record intensity of earthquakes?
Seismometer
Why was the seismograph developed for earthquakes?
to measure what is the intensity of the earthquake.From :Lyssa
