Earthquake intensity is a measure of the strength of shaking at a particular location during an earthquake. It is determined by analyzing the effects of the earthquake on structures and the ground. The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale is used to describe the level of shaking felt at a particular location, ranging from I (barely noticeable) to XII (total destruction). Intensity is influenced by various factors, including the distance from the epicenter, the magnitude of the earthquake, and the local geology.
