  2. Modified Mercalli intensity scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Mercalli...

    For example, a magnitude 7.0 quake in Salta, Argentina, in 2011, that was 576.8 km deep, had a maximum felt intensity of V, [19] while a magnitude 2.2 event in Barrow in Furness, England, in 1865, about 1 km deep, had a maximum felt intensity of VIII. [20] The small table is a rough guide to the degrees of the MMI scale.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Modified_Mercalli...

    The magnitude/intensity comparison table in the Mercalli intensity scale#Modified Mercalli Intensity scale section makes it appear as though magnitude and intensity are directly comparable, when in reality, the magnitude (number) necessary for a certain intensity is frequently lower than the intensity (number) of the shaking it produces. An ...

  4. Seismic intensity scales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_intensity_scales

    Seismic intensity scales categorize the intensity or severity of ground shaking (quaking) at a given location, such as resulting from an earthquake. They are distinguished from seismic magnitude scales , which measure the magnitude or overall strength of an earthquake, which may, or perhaps may not, cause perceptible shaking.

  5. Seismic magnitude scales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_magnitude_scales

    The intensity of local ground-shaking depends on several factors besides the magnitude of the earthquake, [3] one of the most important being soil conditions. For instance, thick layers of soft soil (such as fill) can amplify seismic waves, often at a considerable distance from the source, while sedimentary basins will often resonate ...

  6. Peak ground acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_ground_acceleration

    Unlike the Richter and moment magnitude scales, it is not a measure of the total energy (magnitude, or size) of an earthquake, but rather of how much the earth shakes at a given geographic point. The Mercalli intensity scale uses personal reports and observations to measure earthquake intensity but PGA is measured by instruments, such as ...

    The Markup spotlights California's inflated real estate market, much of which is due to a software company called RealPage. Landlords are using AI to raise rents—and cities are starting to push back

  8. Japan Meteorological Agency seismic intensity scale

    Intensity 7 (震度7, Shindo-nana) is the highest level on the JMA seismic intensity scale, applied to earthquakes with an instrumental intensity (計測震度) of 6.5 or higher. [6] At Intensity 7, movement becomes nearly impossible without external support. [11] The intensity was created following the 1948 Fukui earthquake.

    Meta said in internal memos that it would cut 5% of workers, focusing on its lowest performers. Staffers asked how the cuts would work. One criticized the announcement after a "pretty rough" week.
