…Unlike the magnitude, which indicates the size of the earthquake itself, the intensity of the same earthquake can vary depending on the location. In Japan, the Japan Meteorological Agency's seismic intensity scale, which has 10 levels as shown in table, table (continued), is used, but in other countries, it is common to use 12 levels from 1 to 12, the most representative of which is the Modified Mercalli Seismic Intensity Scale (MM Seismic Intensity Scale) (1931). The MSK seismic intensity scale (1963) was also created with the aim of being shared internationally, but it has not become widely used. … *Some of the terminology used in reference to the "Japan Meteorological Agency Seismic Intensity Scale" is listed below.

…地震そのものの規模を表すマグニチュードとは異なり,同じ地震でも地点が違えば震度は違う値になりうる。日本では表,表(つづき)に示す10階級の〈気象庁震度階級〉が使われているが,外国では1から12までの12階級のものを用いることがふつうで,その代表的なものは〈改正メルカリ震度階(MM震度階)〉(1931)である。また国際的に共用することをめざして〈MSK震度階〉(1963)が作られたが,あまり普及していない。… ※「気象庁震度階級」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
