The scale, which not only measures the intensity of earthquake but also its impact on people, is known as

The scale that measures both quake intensity and its effect on people and structures is the Modified Mercalli scale.

The Richter scale measures only the magnitude or energy released, not the felt impact.

A seismogram is the record traced by a seismograph, not a scale of impact.

An intensity scale is a general idea, but the specific named one here is the Modified Mercalli scale.

The Modified Mercalli scale runs in twelve levels based on observed damage and human experience.

Its intensity value varies with distance from the epicentre, unlike a single magnitude figure.
