The Modified Mercalli Intensity scale is an index of: effects of an earthquake on people, buildings, etc. on a logarithmic scale O total energy release of an earthquake, on a scale of I to XII local effects on people, buildings, etc. on a scale of I to XII O fault displacement during an earthquake, based on slip distance times area of rupture energy released by an earthquake, on a scale of 1 to 10
