PAGASA (Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration) uses the Richter scale to measure the intensity of earthquakes. This scale is a logarithmic scale that quantifies the energy released by an earthquake.
Richter scale is used to measure earthquakes magnitude Shake intensity is measured on the Mercalli scale
The moment magnitude scale is used to measure the magnitude of large earthquakes. The Richter scale is still used to make an initial estimate of the magnitude of larger earthquakes and to measure small and moderate ones (those with a magnitude below 7).
No. The Fujita scale is used to rate the intensity of tornadoes. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
No. Hurricanes are classified on the Saffir-Simpson scale. The Fujita scale is used to rate tornadoes.

The Fujita scale is only for tornado intensity. Meteorologists use a different wind scale for hurricanes called the Saffir-Simpson scale.

Yes, the Heat Index is a scale used to measure the intensity of a heat wave by combining air temperature and relative humidity to determine how hot it feels to the human body. The higher the Heat Index, the more dangerous the heat wave can be.
No. The Fujita scale is used to rate the intensity of tornadoes. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
Yes, there are scales used to measure the intensity of a flood. One commonly used scale is the "Flood Intensity Scale," which categorizes floods based on factors like water depth, flow velocity, and impact on communities. The scale helps emergency responders and communities assess the severity of the flood and plan accordingly.
The Richter scale measures the magnitude of an earthquake, which is the amount of energy released at the source. It does not measure the intensity or effects of the earthquake at different locations. It is commonly used to compare the size of earthquakes.
This is known as intensity. There are a number of intensity scales including the Modified Mercalli scale which is commonly used in the US and the Macroseismic scale as used in Europe.
