Random Wikipedia:EARTHQUAKE article ( )
[edit]Peak ground acceleration (PGA) is equal to the maximum ground acceleration that occurred during earthquake shaking at a location. PGA is equal to the amplitude of the largest absolute acceleration recorded on an accelerogram at a site during a particular earthquake. Earthquake shaking generally occurs in all three directions. Therefore, PGA is often split into the horizontal and vertical components. Horizontal PGAs are generally larger than those in the vertical direction but this is not always true, especially close to large earthquakes. PGA is an important parameter (also known as an intensity measure) for earthquake engineering, The design basis earthquake ground motion (DBEGM) is often defined in terms of PGA.
Unlike the Richter and moment magnitude scales, it is not a measure of the total energy (magnitude, or size) of an earthquake, but rather of how much the earth shakes at a given geographic point. The Mercalli intensity scale uses personal reports and observations to measure earthquake intensity but PGA is measured by instruments, such as accelerographs. It can be correlated to macroseismic intensities on the Mercalli scale but these correlations are associated with large uncertainty. (Full article...)

[edit]On 17 February 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 1888 Ritter Island tsunami, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the 1888 eruption of Ritter Island reduced the 780-metre tall (2,560 ft) volcano to a height of just 140 metres (460 ft)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/1888 Ritter Island tsunami. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, 1888 Ritter Island tsunami), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

On 20 June 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article April 1923 Kamchatka earthquake and tsunami, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.
