Detailed Solution

        The size of an earthquake can be determined in a variety of ways. Charles F. Richter created the Richter scale in 1934, which became the first commonly used technique.
        The Mercalli scale is a further tool for gauging earthquake intensity. This scale, developed by Giuseppe Mercalli in 1902, gauges an earthquake's intensity based on observations made by those who experienced it.
