Magnitude Versus Intensity

Magnitude and Intensity measures different characteristics of earthquakes. Magnitude measures the energy released at the source of the earthquake. Magnitude is determine from measuring seismographs. Intensity measures the strength of shaking produced by earthquake at a certain location. Intensity is determined from the effects on people, human structures, and the natural environment. The following table gives intensities that are typically observe at locations near the epicenter of earthquakes of different magnitude. Magnitude in the Richter Scale Vs. Modified Mercalli Scale.

Description

Peak Acceleration

1.0 ~ 3.4 3.5 ~ 4.2

I II ~ III

I. Not felt except by a very few under especially favorable conditions. II. Felt only by few persons at rest, especially upper floors of buildings. III. Felt quite noticeably by persons indoors, especially on upper floors of buildings. Many people dont recognize it as an earthquake. Standing motor cars may rock slightly. Vibrations similar to the passing truck. Duration estimated

4.3 ~ 4.8

IV ~ V

IV. Felt indoors by many, outdoors by few during the day. At night, some awakened. Dishes, windows, doors disturbed, walls make cracking sound. Sensation like heavy truck striking building. Standing motor cars rocked noticeably. V. Felt by nearly everyone, many awakened. Some dishes, windows broken. Unstable object overturned. Pendulum clock may stop.

VIII. Damage slightly in specially designed structures, considerable damage in ordinary substantial buildings with partial collapse. Damage great in poorly built structures. Fall of chimneys, factory stacks, columns, monuments, and walls. Heavy furniture overturned. IX. Damage considerable in specially designed structures, welldesigned frame structures thrown out of plumb. Damage great in substantial buildings, with partial collapsed. Buildings shifted off foundations.
