well our teacher told us that the marcelli scale was crap since it was only based the damage done by earthquake so a really high magnitude earthquake could rate high on the marcelli scale if the area wasnt well built and could also rate low if it was well built! so basically there was no real system until Charles Richter set the Richter scale which measures waves giving us accurate magnitude of earthquake instead of speculating based on damage!
What else can I help you with?
What did the Japan earthquake measure on the Richter scale?
The March 11, 2011 earthquake was originally measured at magnitude 8.9, but later upgraded to 9.0 by both USGS and Japan scientists.
How earthquakes and the destruction they cause are measured?
Earthquakes are measured using the Richter scale or the moment magnitude scale, which quantify the energy released by an earthquake. The destruction caused by earthquakes is assessed using the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale, which measures the intensity of shaking felt at a particular location and the resulting damage to structures. Additionally, advancements in technology have led to the use of seismometers and accelerometers to provide real-time data on ground shaking and potential damage.

What is landers earthquake on the Richter scale?
The Landers earthquake, which struck Southern California on June 28, 1992, registered a magnitude of 7.3 on the Richter scale. It was a significant seismic event that caused extensive damage in the area, particularly in the towns of Landers and Yucca Valley. The earthquake was part of a complex sequence of seismic activity in the region, highlighting the geological volatility of Southern California. Its impact led to improved understanding of earthquake behavior and enhanced preparedness measures in the region.
