What was the mercalli scale in Sichuan earthquake?
Slight with minor damage - Best Answer.
Why can't you use a Mercalli scale to measure undersea earthquake?
Earthquakescan be measured using the Mercalli Scale, which ranks earthquakes on their effects, such as how they were felt and the damage they caused. Undersea earthquakes can't be measured with this scale because they do not cause this type of damage
What factors determine an earthquale's intensity on the modifield Mercalli scale?
The amount of structural and geological damage done by an earthquake in a specific location determines an earthquake's intensity on the Mercalli scale.
What is the scale that is used to classify an describe the effects of earthquakes on structures and local damage conditions?
Mercalli scale
What scale would most likely be used to tell how much earthquake damage was done to homes and other buildings?
The Mercalli scale would be used to damage earthquake damage.
How they figure out how much damage was done by an earthquake?
Mercalli Scale

What scale is used to record the damage of an earthquake?
Mercalli Scale is used!
What scale is subjective the Richter scale or mercalli?
The Mercalli scale is subjective because it tells how much damage occurred at the location of the earthquake. What you think may be terrible damage I may think is minor in comparison to another earthquake.
What is the earthquakes that measured x on the modified mercalli scale would cause?
considerable damage

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.

What scale is used to record the damage caused by an earthquake?
The Modified Mercalli scale or in Europe, the Macroseismic 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
