Seismic Knowledge
The Central Weather Administration (CWA) introduced a refined seismic intensity scale that subdivides levels 5 and 6 into "5-Weak / 5-Strong" and "6-Weak / 6-Strong" (10 levels in total).
Intensities 1 to 4 are determined primarily by Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA), while levels 5 and above incorporate Peak Ground Velocity (PGV) to better correlate with structural damage in buildings.
- Scale Levels0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5-Weak, 5-Strong, 6-Weak, 6-Strong, 7
- Strong ShakingLevels 5+ incorporate PGV (kine) for building damage correlation
