What measures the intensity of earthquakes in terms of isotherms the Richter scale the Celsius scale or barometric pressure?
What else can I help you with?
What is the Rithcher scale?
It measures an Earthquakes intensity
Does the Richter scale measure intensity?
The Richter scale measures the magnitude of an earthquake, which is the amount of energy released at the source. It does not measure the intensity or effects of the earthquake at different locations. It is commonly used to compare the size of earthquakes.
Why do we record seismic waves?
To try to predict earthquakes, and get advanced warning of them.
What number system is used to describe a quake?
There are two systems that measure earthquakes. The Richter scale measures the moment magnitude, and the Mercalli scale measures the intensity of an earthquake.
What does a barometric measure?
A barometer measures atmospheric pressure
What kind of scale measures earthquakes according to the level of damage?
The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale measures earthquakes based on the level of damage and the effects felt by people and structures. The scale ranges from I (least amount of damage) to XII (total destruction).
What does barometers measures?
The barometric pressure. This is related to weather conditions.
What scales uses roman numerals from 1 to 12 and a detailed description of the effects the earthquake has on people?
It is the Richter Magnitude Scale that measures the intensity of earthquakes.
Is seismograph a type of technology?
Yes, a seismograph is a type of technology used to detect and record earthquakes. It measures the motion of the ground caused by seismic waves generated by earthquakes or other sources of seismic energy.
What is the richtor scale?
the scale used to measure the intensity of earthquakes
What instrument measures luminous intensity or flux?
Luxmeter measures luminous intensity. The SI unit of luminous intensity is candela (cd).
What causes barometric pressure?
Barometric pressure is caused by the weight of the air pushing down on the Earth's surface. It is influenced by factors such as temperature, altitude, and weather patterns. Changes in barometric pressure can indicate changes in weather conditions.
