What is another word for Mercalli Scale?
Pronunciation: [mˈɜːkɐlˌi skˈe͡ɪl] (IPA) 
The Mercalli Scale, also known as the Modified Mercalli Scale or MMI Scale, is a measurement tool used by seismologists to determine the level of earthquake intensity. It measures the effects of an earthquake based on observations of the damage it causes. The Burnette Scale is another synonym for the Mercalli Scale, which takes into account the human emotional response to the earthquake. The Sieberg-Anderson Scale and the Medvedev-Sponheuer-Karnik Scale are other synonyms for this scale. Each of these scales ranges from I to XII, with I being the lowest level of intensity and XII being the highest. Understanding the Mercalli Scale and its synonyms is essential for predicting the effects of an earthquake, and taking preventive measures to mitigate their impact.
