Can you determine Mercalli values?

Mercalli values are determined by assessing the observed effects of an earthquake on people, buildings, and the environment. They are not directly calculated like seismic magnitude. Instead, Mercalli values are based on descriptive accounts and surveys to gauge the intensity of shaking at different locations.


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

How is it possible for an earthquake to measure relativey high on the Mercalli scale but measures low on the Richter scale?

An earthquake can measure relatively high on the Mercalli scale but low on the Richter scale due to the Mercalli scale's focus on the effects and damage caused by the quake rather than its energy release. For example, an earthquake may have a low magnitude but occur in a densely populated area, leading to significant destruction and high intensity ratings on the Mercalli scale. Factors such as local geology, building structures, and distance from the epicenter also influence perceived intensity, making it possible for the Mercalli rating to be high despite a low Richter measurement.
