What was the intensity degree of the earthquake in Ganja, according to the Mercalli scale?
Correct answer: 11
Mori
very vague question. I'm sure this was not Ganja's only quake.

Why would anyone know the Mercali scale of an earthquake when such phenomena are measured by the Richter Scale? Bizarre question.

Player #29100022, Richter scale which is more commonly used goes to 10

Green Giant, correct. It's an exponential scale & a 10 would be total Armageddon - the earth's crust tearing apart into chasms spewing forth magma, that kind of thing.

I thought the scale only went to 10. It's like having a volume control that has 11 as a maximum - it reminds me of Spinal Tap (a comedy spoof rock band).

Mori, I agree and have reported it, after voting it down.

Ganja intensity? Isn't it reputed to be gentle and mellow?
Green Giant
I thought the most powerful earthquake ever recorded was in the 9's
