The Saffir-Simpson Scale is an estimate of the power of hurricanes. Their Categories are Category 1, Category 2, Category 3, Category 4, and Category 5. All of them are destructive, especially Category 3 through 5.

How acidity and alkalinity measured?

Using the pH scale.


How is intensity or energy of earthquakes measured?

The intensity of earthquakes is measured using the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale, which assesses the effects of an earthquake at a given location. The energy released during an earthquake is measured using the moment magnitude scale (Mw), which takes into account the seismic moment and rupture length of the earthquake.


Is measured using spring scale?

Weight is measured using a spring scale, which operates on the principle of Hooke's law that the force exerted on the spring is proportional to the displacement of the spring. The spring scale measures weight by the amount of force needed to stretch the spring within the scale.


What is the method used to determine the measured mass of an object accurately?

The method used to determine the measured mass of an object accurately is by using a calibrated scale or balance. The object is placed on the scale, and the reading displayed on the scale is the measured mass of the object.


How are earthquake magnitude and intensity measured?

Earthquake magnitude is measured using a number of differing scales including the Richter scale, the moment magnitude scale and the surface magnitude scale. Intensity is measured using he Modified Mercalli intensity scale.


How are strengths of earthquakes measured?

Earthquake strength is measured using the Richter scale or the moment magnitude scale. These scales quantify the amount of energy released by an earthquake. The Richter scale is based on the amplitude of seismic waves, while the moment magnitude scale considers the total energy released by the earthquake.


How is cell size measured?

Cell size is measured in nanometers (nm) using a calibrated scale on the microscope objective.


What do you use to measure the power of an earthquake?

The power of an earthquake is measured using a seismometer to record the seismic waves produced by the earthquake. The magnitude of an earthquake is typically measured using the Richter scale or moment magnitude scale.


What are the scales in the magnitude of earthquake?

Large earthquakes (magnitudes greater than 8) are measured using the MMS (moment magnitude) scale. Small and moderate strength earthquakes (those with magnitudes less than 7) are measured using the Richter magnitude scale and earthquakes with magnitudes between 7 and 8 are measured using the Surface Wave magnitude scale.


What is measuring using a spring scale?

Force. Often Measured in Newtons (N).


How force is measured?

The SI units of force are newtons. They're generally measured using something like a spring scale.


How can you measured the earthquake?

The magnitude of an earthquake is measured with a seismograph and the readout is measured using the Richter scale - See Sources and related links for more information.
