Based on human reactions, natural objects and man-made structures, the Mercalli scale rates earthquakes on a scale of 1 to 12, with 1 denoting that nothing was felt and 12 denoting destruction. It was Invented by Giuseppe Mercalli in the year in 1902, Mercalli scale relies on witnesses to report about the earthquake, so the quake's force is not defined in rigorous and objective standards, as the Richter scale provides.
