Definition of Mercalli scale in English:

Mercalli scale

nounməːˈkalimərˈkalē ˌskāl

A twelve-point scale for expressing the local intensity of an earthquake, ranging from I (virtually imperceptible) to XII (total destruction).
麦加利震级，麦氏震级
Example sentencesExamples
- The Mercalli scale measures the effect of an earthquake rather than its intensity.
- Intensities on the Mercalli scale are usually shown in Roman numerals, a convention worth preserving because it helps to distinguish intensity ratings from magnitude ratings.
- There was no determination of the size of the earthquake on May 18, 1980, at Mount St. Helens on the Mercalli scale; because that scale depends of the type of destruction to such things as buildings, walls and roads; and there were few buildings, walls or roads around Mount St. Helens.
- The Mercalli scale is based on observations at the site and therefore reflects the effects of soil conditions, distance from the epicenter, etc.
- The Modified Mercalli scale is designed to describe the effects of an earthquake, at a given place, on natural features, on industrial installations and on human beings.

Origin

1920s: named after Giuseppe Mercalli (1850–1914), Italian geologist.
