Rictor Scale
The scale used to describe the amount of damage an earthquake causes is the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale. This scale measures the intensity of shaking and the resulting damage at a specific location, rather than the earthquake's magnitude, which is measured on the Richter scale. The MMI scale ranges from I (not felt) to XII (total destruction), with each level representing a different degree of impact on structures and people.
Richter scale: measures the magnitude of an earthquake based on the amplitude of seismic waves. Seismographs: instruments that record the ground motion caused by seismic waves, providing data on the earthquake's intensity and duration. Mercalli scale: rates the intensity of an earthquake based on its observed effects on people, buildings, and natural surroundings.
The Enhanced Fujita Scale rates the strength of a Tornado by the damage it has caused!
If the salinity of surface ocean water is high in a particular place, it suggests that there is high evaporation rates in that area. As water evaporates, it leaves behind salt, increasing the salinity of the remaining water.
The Richter scale rates earthquakes based on the amplitude of seismic waves. The moment magnitude scale is a more modern and accurate scale that estimates the total energy released by an earthquake.
The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) Scale rates earthquakes acxcording to how much damage they cause at a particular place and the measured ground accelarattions as recorded by a seismomter. In Europe the Macroseismic sclae is used which is similar in concept to the MMI scale.
The Richter Scale
The Kobe earthquake in 1995 affected over 1 million jobs, with many businesses and industries suffering damage and disruption. It had a significant impact on the local economy and employment rates.
It is a scale that rates how much damage is cause in particular place. IT is measure on a scale of 1-12, 12 being the worst.
It is a seismomiter.

Metlife and State Farm offer great rates for earthquake insurance for the state of the California. There are other companies that are available, however they are smaller and there is no mentioned if they are realiable when it comes to an earthquake.
Hertz does not publish its insurance rates on their website. The rates will often vary based on location, so the best way to evaluate the rates is to contact the location you are planning to use and ask them for their rates directly.
No damage, no claims
Police officers are civil servants and work for the local governments in their particular area. Therefore, their pay rates vary from location to location depending on the salary rates of the various local jurisdictions.
The Haitian earthquake rates as along with the Sumatran earthquake and tsunami as the most terrible earthquake since 1975. Tangshan, Kashmir, and Sichuan round out the top five.
um, I'm not sure, but are you talking about something that has to do with a seismograph?
