What does the mercalli scale measure?
Primary waves
No because if it felt like 5 but was actually a 7, no changes have occured.
When two faults slip past each other
Directly above the focus.
P-waves, s-waves, surface waves
Ocean waves
The magnitude of the earthquake.
The total amount of energy released
Where is the epicenter located?
Primary waves
No because if it felt like 5 but was actually a 7, no changes have occured.
