1 pointsWhich of the following statements given below is/are correct?
1. The Mercalli scale measures the intensity of the earthquake shock.
2. The intensity scale takes into account the visible damage caused by the event.
Select the correct answer using the codes given belowCorrect
Both the statements are correct.
The earthquake events are scaled either according to the magnitude or intensity of the shock. The magnitude scale is known as the Richter scale.
The magnitude relates to the energy released during the quake. The magnitude is expressed in numbers, 0-10.
The Richter magnitude scale is a scale of numbers used to tell the power (or magnitude) of earthquakes. Charles Richter developed the Richter Scale in 1935. His scale worked like a seismogram, measured by a particular type of seismometer at a distance of 100 kilometers (62 mi) from the earthquake.
The intensity scale is named after Mercalli, an Italian seismologist. The intensity scale takes into account the visible damage caused by the event. The range of intensity scale is from 1-12.Incorrect
