Their intensity can be measured by the Richter scale.
The process of dividing a region into areas of different risk and potential for these phenomena is called microzonation ("MICRO"-"zone"-"nation"). These events are measured by the Mercalli intensity scale, and generate Rayleigh and Love waves in addition to p and s waves. The location of origin for one of them is called the hypocenter and the spot above it on the surface is called the epicenter. Their intensity can be measured by the Richter scale. For 10 points, name these events in which the ground shakes.
