What scale is used to record the damage caused by an earthquake?
The Modified Mercalli scale or in Europe, the Macroseismic Scale.
What scale would most likely be used to tell how much earthquake damage was done to homes and other buildings?
The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale is commonly used to assess earthquake damage to buildings and structures. This scale measures the intensity of shaking felt at a given location and categorizes the damage caused based on a set of criteria.
What is the 10-point scale used to record the magnitude of earthquake?
There are two The Richter Scale and the Moment Scale.
Which scale would most likely be used to tell how much earthquake damage was done to home and other buildings?
The Mercalli scale would most likely be used to measure earthquake damage.
Instrument used to record damage caused by earthquake?
seismogram
Which scale would most likely be used to tell how much earthquake damage was done to homes and other buildings?
The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale is typically used to assess the level of earthquake damage to homes and other buildings. The scale assigns a value based on observed effects and is used to quantify the intensity of shaking at a specific location during an earthquake.
What scale provides data for intensity maps of earthquake damage?
The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale is commonly used to provide data for intensity maps of earthquake damage. It measures the effects of an earthquake at a specific location based on observed damage and human perception. The scale ranges from I (not felt) to XII (total destruction).
What are the functions of a mercalli scale?
it is used to measure the damage caused by an earthquake as oppose to energy released in the Richter scale
Which scale measures the amount of damage after an earthquake?
The scale that measures the amount of damage after an earthquake is the Modified Mercalli intensity scale.
What are the 2 scales used to determine the strength of an earthquake?
The Moment magnitude scale (which replaced the Richter scale) and the Modified Mercalli scale are used to determine the strength of an earthquake.The Moment magnitude scale is used by seismologists to rate the energy released by earthquakes.The Modified Mercalli scale is used to measure the intensity of an earthquake, and the amount of damage it causes. This value is derived from reports by witnesses of the earthquake, the damage caused to buildings and other infrastructure and the measured ground accelerations from seismometers.Please see the related questions for more information.One is the Richter scale, which measures waves and gives us a measure of the magnitude of the earthquake. The other is the Mercalli scale, which is based on the amount of damage done.
What measures the damage done by an earthquake?
The damage done by an earthquake is typically measured using the Richter scale, moment magnitude scale, or the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale. These scales take into account factors such as the energy released, amount of ground shaking, and the impact on structures and people.
Which scale would be used to tell how much an earthquake damage was done to homes and other buildings?
They could use the information from the seismic wave scale
