it was recorded to be a 9.2 magnitude earthquake so it was very powerful.
magnitude is what they measure for the Richter scale
What else can I help you with?
How far did the seismic waves from the Haitian earthquake travel?
According to the US Geological survey the Haitian Earthquake had the capacity to cause some minor structural damage to buildings as far away as 300 km from the Earthquakes epicentre (level V or 5 on the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale. It was felt by humans as far away as Guantanamo in Cuba (level III or 3 on the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale) and would most likely have been detected by seismometers all over the world. Please see the related question and link.
What instrument is used to measure the intensity of a earth quake?
Earthquake intensity is recorded on the Modified Mercalli or the Macroseismic scale. These values are derived based on witness reports as to the perceived level of ground shaking as well as damage to buildings and other structures and ground accelerations as measured by seismometers.
When does aggron learn earthquake?
mines level 100 but it didn't learn earthquake.... the closest to it is metal burst probbaly.... sorry but you'll have to get the tm.... ~Lei2
Are Japan earthquake lowest earthquake hazard level or not?
Japanese have one of the highest because earthquakes happen there frequently. So no Japan does not.
Can an earthquake occur when a volcano erupts?
Yes. There is normally some level of earthquake associated with a volcanic eruption. It can be mild or a major quake.
What was the modified mercalli scale level for the san Fran earthquake in 1906?
About no. 9
What was the modified mercalli level of the japan earthquake in March 11?
The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) level of the Japan earthquake on March 11, 2011, was around VII to IX, varying across different locations. The earthquake caused widespread damage and triggered a devastating tsunami that led to significant destruction and loss of life.
What was the Modified Mercalli scale level for the Chilean earthquake 2010?
According to the US Geological survey, the maximum intensity of the magnitude 9.5 Chilean earthquake of 1960 was rated as XI on the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale which are described as very disastrous or extreme events which are likely to cause significant damage to structures. Please see the related link for details.
What was the modified mercalli scale level of last Japan eartquake?
5675657
What is the highest intensity level on the modified mercalli intensity scale?
11
What was the modified mercalli scale level in Japan 2011 on the 11 of march?
1X = 9
What level of damage is caused by an earthquake with an intensity level of XII?
An earthquake with an intensity level of XII on the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale can cause total destruction in the affected area. Buildings, bridges, and infrastructure may collapse, resulting in widespread devastation. There may also be landslides, ground ruptures, and tsunamis triggered by such a powerful earthquake.
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.

The amount of shaking produced by an earthquake at a given location is called the?
The amount of shaking produced by an earthquake at a given location is called the intensity. It is measured on the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale, which quantifies the level of shaking experienced by people and structures during an earthquake.
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 was the level of damage the Great San Francisco Earthquake of April 1906 on the Mercalli Scale?
MM Intensity- XI
