Intensity
Magnitude
Depth of the focus
Location of the epicenter
- 3. Multiple Choice
What happens to the magnitude and intensity as measured farther from the epicenter?
Magnitude increases while intensity decreases
Magnitude decreases while intensity increases
Magnitude increases while intensity remains constant
Magnitude remains constant while intensity decreases
- 4. Multiple Choice
Is intensity 2 and magnitude 2 of an earthquake the same? Why?
No, because intensity is a measure of an earthquake in terms of energy while magnitude is a measure of the damaged caused by an earthquake.
No, because intensity is a measure of the severity of damaged caused by an earthquake while magnitude is a measure of energy released.
Yes, because both intensity 2 and magnitude 2 are considered weak vibration of the ground and can hardly felt by people.
Yes, because both have equal quantity thus, they can be interpreted similarly.
