Question

fill in the blanks____is issued to measure the intensity earthquake​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Mercalli Scale is used to measure the intensity of an earthquake.

Explanation:

Answer 2

RICHTER SCALE is issued to measure the intensity of earthquake.

Explanation:

• Richter Scale is a scale developed by Charles F. Richter. It measures the intensity and magnitude of an earthquake by measuring the seismic wave.
• It measures the amplitude or frequency of the seismic wave created by an earthquake. It maps the intensity of the wave in the form of a graph, characterised by either P(primary) or S(secondary) waves.
• The graph is studies using a logarithmic scale. Hence an earthquake varies by a factor of 10 for every increase in scale by 1.
• Richter scale is effective for large-scale earthquakes of medium intensity, hence has limited use.
