What else can I help you with?
What is the Rithcher scale?
It measures an Earthquakes intensity
What does the mercallic scale measure?
An earthquakes intensity
Are shallow earthquakes more destructive than deeper earthquakes of the same intensity?
Earthquakes that happen in shallow water cause tsunami and other side affects like landslides.
Why all earthquakes are not damaging?
Earthquakes vary greatly in intensity. Many are not strong enough to cause any notable damage. Additionally, in some earthquake-prone areas the buildings are built to withstand earthquakes, and so are less likely to be damaged.
Are japans buildings earthquake proof?
Engineers in Japan design the buildings with the understanding of the frequency and intensity of earthquakes. They build the buildings to move with the motion of earthquakes so they will not crumble.
Which do you think is more important to measure an earthquakes intensity or strength?
intensity
What does the mercallic scale measure?
An earthquakes intensity
What is the Rithcher scale?
It measures an Earthquakes intensity
What scale gives the intensity of earthquakes?
Richter scale is used to measure earthquakes magnitude Shake intensity is measured on the Mercalli scale
Have tsunamis scale of Richter?
No. The Richter Scale rates the intensity of earthquakes. There is not intensity scale for tsunamis.
What is the instrument that can measure the intensity of earthquakes?
A seismogragh and/or seismometer.
Where is an earthquakes maximum intensity usually felt?
at the epicenter
Are all earthquakes the same?
No. Earthquakes differ in cause (strike-slip, megathrust, volcanic, etc.) and in intensity.
How do geologists learn about how the block of rock along a fault move?
They map the earthquakes intensity and where the past earthquakes were.
Why was the seismograph developed for earthquakes?
to measure what is the intensity of the earthquake.From :Lyssa
Which instrument is commonly used to record intensity of earthquakes?
Seismometer
Which instruments Used to record intensity of earthquakes?
Seismometers are most commonly used to record the intensity of earthquakes. These instruments detect and measure the seismic waves produced by earthquakes. The data collected from seismometers helps scientists determine the magnitude and location of the earthquake.
