The Environmental Seismic Intensity scale (ESI2007) is a new earthquake intensity scale only based on the effects triggered by the earthquake in the natural environment. The coseismic effects considered more diagnostic for intensity evaluation are surface faulting and tectonic uplift/subsidence (primary effects), landslides, ground cracks, liquefactions, displaced boulders, tsunamis and hydrological anomalies (secondary effects). The ESI 2007 scale follows the same basic structure as any other XII degree scale, such as the MCS, MM, MSK and EMS scales.

Abstract

The Environmental Seismic Intensity scale (ESI2007) is a new earthquake intensity scale only based on the effects triggered by the earthquake in the natural environment. The coseismic effects considered more diagnostic for intensity evaluation are surface faulting and tectonic uplift/subsidence (primary effects), landslides, ground cracks, liquefactions, displaced boulders, tsunamis and hydrological anomalies (secondary effects). The ESI 2007 scale follows the same basic structure as any other XII degree scale, such as the MCS, MM, MSK and EMS scales.
