Line 23:
Earthquake effects are described in terms of [[intensity]], a scale which attempts to quantify the severity of shaking at a given ___location. A number of intensity scales are in use, and there is a significant degree of consistency amongst them. The best known is the [[Mercalli Intensity Scale|Mercalli (or Modified Mercalli, MM) scale]], but the more consistent and analytical [[European Macroseismic Scale]] (EMS) is now increasingly widely used. In Japan the [[Japan Meterological Agency seismic intensity scale]] (JMA) is used.
