1Seismic scale — A seismic scale is used to measure and compare the severity of earthquakes. (For a quick review, see the table of seismic scales at the end of this article.)Two fundamentally different but equally important types of scales are commonly used by… …
2MSK — may refer to the following:* Minimum shift keying (or similar Gaussian minimum shift keying), a type of radio modulation * Codename for Moscow Time * Medvedev Sponheuer Karnik seismic intensity scale (MSK 64) * Musculoskeletal * Museum voor… …
3Medvedev-Sponheuer-Karnik scale — The Medvedev Sponheuer Karnik scale, also known as the MSK or MSK 64, is a macroseismic intensity scale used to evaluate the severity of ground shaking on the basis of observed effects in an area of the earthquake occurrence. The scale was first… …
4European Macroseismic Scale — The European Macroseismic Scale (EMS) is the basis for evaluation of seismic intensity in European countries and moreover in use on most other continents. Issued in 1998 as update of the test version from 1992, the scale is referred to as EMS… …

8China Seismic Intensity Scale — The China Seismic Intensity Scale (CSIS) is a national standard in the People s Republic of China[1] used to measure seismic intensity. Similar to EMS 92 on which CSIS drew reference, seismic impacts are classified into 12 degrees of intensity,… …
91991 Racha earthquake — The Racha earthquake occurred in the province of Racha, Republic of Georgia on April 29, 1991. Centered on the districts of Oni and Ambrolauri on the southern foothills of the Greater Caucasus mountains, it killed 270, left approximately 60,000… …
10Earthquake hazard zoning of India — The Indian subcontinent had a long history of devastating earthquakes. The major reason for the high frequency and intensity of the earthquakes is that India continues to drive into Asia at a rate of appromately 47 mm/year [ cite web title =… …
