Difference between 2011 Christchurch earthquake and Mercalli intensity scale

2011 Christchurch earthquake vs. Mercalli intensity scale

A earthquake occurred in Christchurch on at 12:51 p.m. local time (23:51 UTC). The Mercalli intensity scale is a seismic intensity scale used for measuring the intensity of an earthquake.

Similarities between 2011 Christchurch earthquake and Mercalli intensity scale

2011 Christchurch earthquake and Mercalli intensity scale have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Earthquake, Epicenter, Moment magnitude scale, Peak ground acceleration, Richter magnitude scale, Seismic hazard, Seismic magnitude scales, United States Geological Survey.

Earthquake

An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the shaking of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves.

Epicenter

The epicenter, epicentre or epicentrum in seismology is the point on the Earth's surface directly above a hypocenter or focus, the point where an earthquake or an underground explosion originates.

Peak ground acceleration

Peak ground acceleration (PGA) is equal to the maximum ground acceleration that occurred during earthquake shaking at a location.

The so-called Richter magnitude scale – more accurately, Richter's magnitude scale, or just Richter magnitude – for measuring the strength ("size") of earthquakes refers to the original "magnitude scale" developed by Charles F. Richter and presented in his landmark 1935 paper, and later revised and renamed the Local magnitude scale, denoted as "ML" or "ML".

Seismic hazard

A seismic hazard is the probability that an earthquake will occur in a given geographic area, within a given window of time, and with ground motion intensity exceeding a given threshold.
