What is Earthquake Intensity and Magnitude Explained about?

The document discusses various scales used to characterize earthquakes, including the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale and Richter magnitude scale. The Modified Mercalli Intensity scale ranks earthquake intensity based on observed effects from I (not felt) to XII (total damage). The Richter magnitude scale measures earthquake magnitude through seismograph measurements, with each whole number increase corresponding to a tenfold increase in amplitude. Various equations are provided relating magnitude to fact
