The main method to find the intensity of earthquake is richter scale. 

The alternative methods are:

1. The moment magnitude scale: Which is based on amount of displacement that occured along a faulty zone. 

2. Mercalli scale: This scale uses the observations of the people who experienced the earthquake to estimate intensity.
