Which is more useful to scientists the Richter scale or Mercalli scale?
The scales have differing uses and so which scale is more useful depends on exactly what the scientist is interested in. The Richter scale is a magnitude scale. This is an estimate of the amount of energy released by an earthquake. The Mercalli scale is an intensity scale. This is an estimate of the perceived severity of ground shaking in differing areas caused by an earthquake. The Richter value is derived based on the amplitude of seismic waves measured on a seismometer and a single value is calculated for a given earthquake. This allows an earthquake to be compared to other earthquakes. The Mercalli intensity value is derived based on the damage caused to buildings and other structures and also based on the measured ground acceleration at a given location. This value can vary depending for a given earthquake on the local ground conditions, the distance from the earthquakes epicentre and the earthquake resistance of buildings. As such, the Richter value is most useful for comparing one earthquake with another, the Mercalli value is most useful for comparing the severity of ground shaking and damage caused by a single earthquake in different locations.
