The Richter scale magnitude(M)of an earthquake is a measure of <br /> the amount of energy released by the quake,but does not necessarily relate directly to <br /> hazardous effects. Earthquake intensity scales, such as the Modified Mercalli scale <br /> (MM) (I-X),describe impacts on natural features,constructed objects and structures,and <br /> human life. <br /> SOURCES: <br /> /a/ Kleinfelder, 1988 <br /> Jennings, 1992. <br /> /b/ Mualichin and Jones, 1992. <br /> /c/ U.S.G.S.
