What is the measure of how much damage an earthquake causes the surface?

The measure of how much damage an earthquake causes on the surface is determined by the earthquake magnitude and the distance from the epicenter. Earthquake damage can also be influenced by local geology and infrastructure resilience. The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale is commonly used to assess the level of shaking and resulting damage.

What is the measure of how much damage an earthquake causes the surface is called?

The measure of how much damage an earthquake causes at the surface is called the "intensity" of the earthquake. This is typically assessed using the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale, which rates the effects of an earthquake based on observations of damage and human experiences. Intensity varies from place to place depending on factors like distance from the epicenter, geological conditions, and building structures.

What is the type of earthquake that does damage to roads and buildings?

The type of earthquake that causes damage to roads and buildings is typically a strong or major earthquake. These earthquakes have higher magnitudes and release more energy, leading to more intense shaking that can result in structural damage to infrastructure like roads and buildings.
