Seismic intensity scales are systems used to measure and describe the effects of an earthquake at specific locations, based on observations of the earthquake's impact on people, buildings, and the Earth's surface. Unlike seismic magnitude scales, which quantify the energy released at the source of an earthquake, intensity scales focus on the human, structural, and geological effects resulting from the seismic event.
