Intensity 12


Intensity 12 : A measure of the level of earthquake ground shaking at a specific location. The dominant intensity system used in Australia (and in most other countries) is the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale. The magnitude of an earthquake is related to the total energy released by the event; an earthquake has only a single magnitude value. The shaking at the Earth's surface produced by an earthquake decreases with distance from the epicentre, therefore, an earthquake can have multiple intensities
