How high does the mercalli scale go?
The Mercalli intensity scale is a scale used for measuring the intensity of an earthquake. In 1902 the ten-degree Mercalli scale was expanded to twelve degrees by Italian physicist Adolfo Cancani. It was later completely re-written by the German geophysicist August Heinrich Sieberg and became known as the Mercalli-Concani-Sieberg (MCS) scale. ChaCha folks!
