Answer:

The correct option is:

This scale rates an earthquake according to how much damage it causes.

Explanation:

The Mercalli Scale was invented by Giuseppe Mercalli in 1902. It is not considered that much of a scientific method to measure to measure strength of an earthquake.

Mercalli scale uses the observation of people who experienced the earthquake, to estimate the intensity. Its measurement is based on how much effect or damage it causes to the humans, objects, buildings, and other man made things.

It is not considered a good way to measure intensity of earthquakes because some witnesses may exaggerate the effects while some may consider it nominal.

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

the time of the lowest temperature.

Explanation:

Relative humidity simply talks about the ratio of the quantity of water the air contains at any given time, to the highest quantity of water the air could ever have. So when the water vapor content in air remains constant while the temperature falls, then the relative humidity tends to increase. This phenomenon usually takes place in the morning when the sun is yet to come out and the temperature is usually cooler. When sun peaks, afternoon sets in, the relative humidity then reduces.
