What is the amount of damage caused by an earthquake is called?
The size of an earthquake is measured on the Ricter scale it can also be measured on the Mercalli scale.For an example the 2008 earthquake in China was 7.8 on the Rictor scale and in was XI on the Mercalli scale
Name the scale that measures the intensity of earthquakes?
The Rickter (RICK-tur) scale has been popular for decades to measure the intensity of earthquakes, yet it had its issues. These days the Mercalli scale is most often used by geologists and vulcanologists.

List the three scales that are used for measuring earthquake?
the Mercalli Scale, the Richter Scale, and the Moment Magnitude Scale
The three major scales used to measure earthquakes are Mercalli Scale Richter Scale and Magnitude Scale true or false?
False. The three major scales used to measure earthquakes are the Mercalli Intensity Scale, the Richter Scale, and the Moment Magnitude Scale. The Mercalli Scale measures the intensity of shaking and its effects on people and structures, while the Richter and Moment Magnitude Scales quantify the energy released by an earthquake.
