Describe one type of damage that occurred in Anchorage but not in Kodiak during the 1964 earthquake, according to the provided map and Mercalli scale.
Understand the Problem
The question asks to describe a type of damage that occurred in Anchorage, Alaska, during the 1964 earthquake, but did not occur in Kodiak, Alaska. The answer must be based on the provided map and the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale.
Answer
Anchorage experienced damage such as chimneys falling, and heavy furniture overturned, while Kodiak did not experience this level of damage.
Based on the provided map and Mercalli scale, Anchorage experienced damage intensity level VIII, while Kodiak experienced damage intensity level VII. Therefore, a type of damage that occurred in Anchorage but not in Kodiak is "chimneys fall, much damage in substantial buildings, heavy furniture overturned."
Answer for screen readers
Based on the provided map and Mercalli scale, Anchorage experienced damage intensity level VIII, while Kodiak experienced damage intensity level VII. Therefore, a type of damage that occurred in Anchorage but not in Kodiak is "chimneys fall, much damage in substantial buildings, heavy furniture overturned."
More Information
The Mercalli intensity scale is a seismic scale used for measuring the intensity of an earthquake. It measures the effects of an earthquake.
Tips
Carefully read the Mercalli scale to correctly associate the damage to the intensity level.
