It's important to be able to distinguish between minor earthquakes that cause no damage or fatalities and major earthquakes that result in horrific loss of life. That's why we usually describe earthquakes by giving them a number on either the Richter scale or the Mercalli scale.

Powerful aftershocks frequently occur, causing further damage and increasing psychological stress.ntensity scales, like the Modified Mercalli scale and the Rossi-Forel scale, measure the amount of shaking at a particular location. So the intensity of an earthquake will vary depending on where you are. Sometimes earthquakes are referred to by the maximum intensity they produce.
