What measures the damage done by an earthquake?
The damage done by an earthquake is typically measured using the Richter scale, moment magnitude scale, or the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale. These scales take into account factors such as the energy released, amount of ground shaking, and the impact on structures and people.
What was the mercalli scale for the Kobe earthquake?
The Mercalli Intensity Scale is a measure of earthquake intensity experienced at a given location. The Kobe earthquake in 1995 had intensities reaching up to VIII (8) on the Mercalli Intensity Scale in the heavily affected areas around Kobe.
How would you describe the Mercalli scale?
== The mercalli scale also known as the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale is a measure of the ground shaking from earthquakes. It is based on how people perceive earthquake shaking and/or the damage caused by an earthquake. Modified Mercalli Intensity is measured at individual locations so one earthquake can have many different measures of MMI. MMI is measured on a scale of 1 to 12 (actually Roman numerals) with 1 corresponding to the slightest shaking and 12 reflecting the strongest earthquake. MMI is not the same as earthquake magnitude which is a single measure of the amount of energy released by an earthquake.
Who compiled the mercalli scale?
The mercalli scale was made by Giuseppe mercalli he was born in milan.
Which scale measures the amount of damage after an earthquake?
The scale that measures the amount of damage after an earthquake is the Modified Mercalli intensity scale.
What is the modified Mercalli scale measure?
modified mercalli scale measure is type of seismograph that they made in the 1989
What was the modified mercalli scale reading in the Peru earthquake 2007?
the modified mercalli scale was VII-VIII
What scale is used by PAGASA to measure the intensity of an earthquake?
PAGASA uses the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale to measure the intensity of an earthquake in the Philippines. This scale assesses the effects of an earthquake on people, structures, and the environment rather than measuring the actual energy released by the earthquake.
What is the highest intensity on the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale?
11
What measures an earthquake's intensity based on the observed effects on people and structures?
Richter scale, Modified Mercalli scale, Centigrade scale, and the Moment Magnitude 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.
What was the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale value for the last earthquake in New Zealand?
The maximum measured intensity of the 2010 Canterbury earthquake in New Zealand was IX (9) on the Modified Mercalli scale.
What scale is used to record the damage caused by an earthquake?
The Modified Mercalli scale or in Europe, the Macroseismic Scale.
What was the modified mercalli scale level of last Japan eartquake?
