Earthquake intensity levels and estimated damage for each level

Image
  An earthquake is a natural phenomenon that occurs when the Earth's crust experiences sudden and violent shaking. The severity of an earthquake is often measured using a grading system that provides an indication of the earthquake's intensity and potential damage. In this article, we will explore the different earthquake grades and the estimated damage associated with each grade. Earthquake Grade 1 A Grade 1 earthquake refers to a minor earthquake that is usually not felt by people. These earthquakes have a very low intensity and rarely cause any damage to structures or infrastructure. Estimated Damage for Grade 1 Earthquake: Negligible or no damage to buildings No impact on infrastructure No threat to human life Earthquake Grade 2 Grade 2 earthquakes are also considered minor earthquakes but may be felt by some individuals. While these earthquakes might cause slight shaking, they typically do not result in any significant damage. Estimated Damage for Grade 2 Earthquake: Minim
