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.
