An earthquake’s អាំងតង់ស៊ីតេ, or the severity of its shaking, determines how dangerous it is: more fatalities occur in areas with un-reinforced buildings or soft soil that prolongs shaking. Earthquakes can also cause dangerous ផលប៉ះពាល់បន្ទាប់បន្សំ, like landslides, fires and tsunamis. The Modified Mercalli Index measures an earthquake’s intensity by considering the severity of the shaking and the amount of damage relative to factors like building construction and soil composition. The Moment Magnitude Scale measures the strength, or magnitude, of an earthquake, replacing the outdated Richter scale.
