Modified Mercalli intensity scale

The Modified Mercalli intensity scale (MM, MMI, or MCS) measures the effects of an earthquake at a given location.

See 1902 Shamakhi earthquake and Modified Mercalli intensity scale

Moment magnitude scale

The moment magnitude scale (MMS; denoted explicitly with M or or Mwg, and generally implied with use of a single M for magnitude) is a measure of an earthquake's magnitude ("size" or strength) based on its seismic moment.

See 1902 Shamakhi earthquake and Moment magnitude scale

Mortar (masonry)

Mortar is a workable paste which hardens to bind building blocks such as stones, bricks, and concrete masonry units, to fill and seal the irregular gaps between them, spread the weight of them evenly, and sometimes to add decorative colours or patterns to masonry walls.

See 1902 Shamakhi earthquake and Mortar (masonry)

Mosque

Subduction

Subduction is a geological process in which the oceanic lithosphere and some continental lithosphere is recycled into the Earth's mantle at convergent boundaries.

See 1902 Shamakhi earthquake and Subduction

Surface rupture

In seismology, surface rupture (or ground rupture, or ground displacement) is the visible offset of the ground surface when an earthquake rupture along a fault affects the Earth's surface.
