What measures the ground motion during an earthquake?
Seismograph.
What measures how much ground movement during an earthquake?
rector scale
What scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of soil?
the scale that measures the acidinty is weight scale
What is used to determine placement on the Mercalli Scale?
The Mercalli Scale uses Roman numerals, I through XII, to establish levels of destruction, ground motion, and impact on humans.
How does the Richter scale differ from the Marcalli intensity scale?
Richter scale measures magnitude of an earthquake, while Marcalli scale measures the strength of an earthquake.
What magnitude scale measures ground motion?
The Richter Scale is what measures the ground motion from an earthquake.
What measures the ground motion during an earthquake?
Seismograph.
What measures how much ground movement during an earthquake?
rector scale
How are magnitude and ground motion related in the Richter scale?
by smell food
What are the two scale used to measure earthquakes and what do they measure?
There are actually 3. But 2 of them are The Mercalli scale measures an earthquake's intensity which is the strength of the ground motion in a given place. It is not very accurate though. The Richter scale measures the size of seismic waves. It gives it a rating from 1 which is the lowest(can't be felt) to 9(deathly destruction) These 2 scales are very similiar.
When magnitude increases by 1 on the Richter scale how much does the ground motion increase?
10 times
What scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of soil?
the scale that measures the acidinty is weight scale
What is specifically does the Richter scale measure?
Richter scale measures the ground motion from an earthquakes to find the earthquakes strength. mercalli scale measures expresses intensity in roman numerals from I to XII and provides a description of the effects of each earthquake intensity.
What does spring scale measures?
A spring scale measures forces, such as weight or tension.
What is used to determine placement on the Mercalli Scale?
The Mercalli Scale uses Roman numerals, I through XII, to establish levels of destruction, ground motion, and impact on humans.
What is the name of the scale that measures wind force and measures from 0 to 12?
Beaufort Scale
What is the laboratory instrument that is a special scale that measures weight?
A spring scale measures weight.
