Question

Which earthquake scale takes into consideration the damage caused by an earthquake?

A. Moment magnitude scale
B. Modified Mercalli scale
C. Richter scale
D. Amplitude scale

Answer 1

It is not the Richter or amplitude scale because they measure the "shaking" of the area caused by the earthquake.
The moment magnitude scale measures the power of earthquakes in terms of power.
Therefore, It is the Modifies Mercalli scale.
