Study Fig. 3, which shows the Mercalli scale levels of intensity for the 2010 Haitian earthquake. [Figure 3.0]

1. (a)(i)Complete Fig. 3 by drawing the line to separate level 6 from level 7.[1]
2. (a)(ii)On Fig. 3, shade the area that experienced an earthquake intensity of level 10.[1]
3. (b)(i)What was the intensity of the earthquake at the capital city?[1]
4. (b)(ii)Estimate how far the capital city was from the strongest intensity. Circle the correct answer. 10 km 50 km 75 km 100 km[1]
5. (c)Fig. 4 is an extract from the Mercalli scale. [Figure 4.0]
6. (c)(i)What level of damage would be expected in a “well-built ordinary structure” at Mercalli scale level 7?[1]
7. (c)(ii)Suggest why it is necessary to know how well-built the buildings are when assessing the Mercalli scale level.[1]
8. (c)(iii)Suggest why it would be necessary to interview more than one person to assess the Mercalli scale level at a particular place.[2]
