What is intensity and the Mercalli intensity scale? The amount of shaking that occurs on the surface due to an earthquake is called the intensity. It is usually measured on the so-called Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) ranging from 1 (imperceptible) to 10 (severe shaking), and is given in Roman numerals such as I, II,…IX, X, and is often displayed with color codes ranging from light blue to dark red.
