What was the Modified Mercalli scale level for the Chilean earthquake 2010?

The Modified Mercalli Intensity scale level for the Chilean earthquake in 2010 was around VIII, which corresponds to severe shaking. This level indicates that damage to poorly constructed buildings was significant, and would likely be felt by most people in the affected area.


Does the whole world shakes when am earthquake happens?

No, the shaking from an earthquake is typically localized to the area near the epicenter. The intensity of shaking can vary depending on factors such as the depth of the earthquake, the magnitude, and the geology of the region.


What is used to determine the earthquakes intensity?

Seismologists estimate earthquake intensity based on the reports of witnesses on the level of felt ground movement, on the amount of damage caused by an earthquake and also based on the ground accelerations as measured by seismometers. The scale used to define earthquake intensity in much of the world is the Modified Mercalli scale (before this, a scale known as the Rossi-Forel scale was used). In Europe the Macroseismic scale is in use.

What does an earthquake feel like?

Why do not any of you know the answer for what time eartquakes occur?

About 300 or so measurable earthquakes occur around the world each day. So far, it is not possible to predict the time when an earthquake will occur. The best scientists can do is predict the frequency (once in how many years) an earthquake of a specific intensity will occur on a given fault line.


What type of data do geologists use to locate an earthquake's epicenter?

Geologists use seismic data collected from seismographs located around the world to pinpoint the exact location of an earthquake's epicenter. By analyzing the timing and intensity of seismic waves recorded at different stations, geologists can determine the epicenter's geographic coordinates.


Is Japan earthquake 2011 the biggest earthquake in the world?

No. The earthquake that caused the Tsunami in Indonesia in 2004 was a bigger earthquake than the one that hit Japan.


What was the time of the Japanese earthquake?

Japan has earthquakes daily. The whole country is in a very active seismic area, and have the densest seismic network in the world which records earthquake activity. The massive magnitude 9.0 earthquake that happened off the coast of Japan on Friday, March 11th 2011 was at 2:46pm local time or 05:46 GMT.
