Mercalli Scale
How does the mercalli scale best demonstrate the power and the destructive nature of earthquake?
The Richter scale measures the force of earthquakes mechanically. The Mercalli scale measures the damage caused by earthquakes. The location of the epicenter of an earthquake can result in a great variation in damage amounts.
