What else can I help you with?
How does the Fajita scale help determine the strength of a tornado?
The is no Fajita scale. The Fujita scale provides basic standards by which to assess the damage done by a tornado. Based on the severity of the damage a tornado is assigned a rating, which can range from F0 for the weakest tornadoes to F5 for the strongest.
What is the wind damage scale used to assess the severity of damage caused by strong winds?
The wind damage scale used to assess the severity of damage caused by strong winds is called the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF Scale).
What scale is described for damage in an earthquake?
Technically, you can't tell damage from the Richter Scale, because the Richter Scale rating of an earthquake stays the same no mater how far out you go from the epicenter. The scale that measures the damage of an earthquake (meaning the scale rating gets lower the further you go from the epicenter) is called the Mercalli Scale. The Mercalli Scale goes from II to XII (2 to 12) and the rating on the Mercalli Scale in which damage starts to occur is about 6. However, if you are going by the Richter Scale, damage at the epicenter would start at about 5.0
What is the name of the hurricane damage scale?
Saffir Simpson Scale
What is the name of the scale used to rate tornado damage?
Tornado damage has traditionally been rated on the Fujita scale. However, the United States and Canada now rate tornado damage on the similar Enhanced Fujita scale.
Which scale provides intensity maps of earthquake damage?
The seismic scale that measures the intensity of earthquake damage is called the Mercalli intensity scale. This scale measures the effect an earthquake has on people and surroundings.
What scale is used to record the damage of an earthquake?
Mercalli Scale is used!
What kind of scale measures earthquakes according to the level of damage?
The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale measures earthquakes based on the level of damage and the effects felt by people and structures. The scale ranges from I (least amount of damage) to XII (total destruction).
With what scale can you mesaure a tornadoes damage?
fujita scale now known as the enhanced fujita scale
What scale provide data for intensity of earthquake damage?
Richter scale, Wegener scale, and Mercalliscale.
Can tornadoes damage be mesured by a scale?
Yes, in fact damage is exactly what is used to rate tornadoes on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. Damage ranges from EF0 (light damage) to EF5 (total devastation)
How is the f-scale measured?
The F-scale, a measurement used to categorize the intensity of a tornado, is measured on the Fujita scale based on the damage caused by the tornado. The scale ranges from F0 (weakest) to F5 (strongest) and is assigned after a thorough survey of the impacted area to determine the extent of damage to structures.
