Sagot :

What is the difference between magnitude and intensity of an earthquake?

Magnitude and Intensity measure different characteristics of earthquakes.

➢ Magnitude

  • Magnitude measures the energy released at the source of the earthquake. It is determined from measurements on seismographs.

➢ Intensity

  • Intensity measures the strength of shaking produced by the earthquake at a certain location. It is determined from effects on people, human structures, and the natural environment.

Most earthquakes are caused by the sudden slippage along fault lines. This slippage of the Earth's tectonic plates may lead to ground shaking which results in rock movements. Some effects caused by earthquakes are tsunamis, loss of properties, and lives.
