Why will INTENSITY decrease as it gets farther away from the earthquake's epicenter?

Sagot :

Since intensity decreases with distance from the earthquake, a large deep earthquake, which solely because of its depth is far from Earth's surface, produces small shaking intensity. Thus we cannot use intensity to accurately compare the relative size of shallow and deep earthquakes
