Mercalli Intensity Scale:

<em> is a seismic intensity scale used for measuring the intensity of an earthquake. ... It is distinct from the moment magnitude (Mw) usually reported for an earthquake, which is a measure of the energy released (sometimes misreported as the Richter magnitude, ML).</em>

Answer: The correct answer is "Mercalli intensity scale".

Explanation:

Mercalli Intensity Scale: It is an effect of an earthquake on the surface of the earth. It depicts the shaking severity. It measures the amount of damage after an earthquake or It measures the destruction.

Richter scale: It describes the magnitude of the earthquake by measuring the seismic wave. It is the energy released by the an earthquake.

Therefore, Mercalli intensity scale measures the amount of damage after an earthquake.

Which is the correct order from least amount of atomic (particle) movement to the most amount of atomic particle movement?
babymother [125]

Answer: particles movement in solid< particles movement in liquids< particles movement in gases.

Explanation:

Atoms are very small, it is not easily seen even with the help of light microscopes. However, We use multiple models of atoms toexplain describe particles of an atom behaviour.

In solids, the particles are packed together tightly in an ordered arrangement. The particles only vibrate about their position in the structure because the particles are held together too strongly to allow movement. Thereby,making the particles MOVE THE LEAST

In liquids, the particles are close together and they move with random motion in the container. The particles move rapidly in all directions but there is more colision between itself even more than particles in gases. This means that the particles here are MORE FASTER THAN THAT OF THE SOLID.

Particles in gases move the FASTEST, more than the particles in solids and liquids. Although, the average speed of the particles depends on their mass and the temperature.
