The Richter magnitude scale is used to measure the strength of an earthquake.
The earthquake had a Moment magnitude of 7.0 and a Mercalli intensity of Extreme (Level X). Please see the related questions for more information.
a magnitude-8.0 earthquake can be classified as a low intensity earthquake because depending on where it occured, is realllyyy depends on how many people felt it and how bad it affected them by damaging things
Magnitude
Intensity and magnitude can mean the same thing, although it is a weak connection. The word intensity generally refers to our emotions and how we feel. Magnitude refers to size.
Earthquake magnitude is measured using a number of differing scales including the Richter scale, the moment magnitude scale and the surface magnitude scale. Intensity is measured using he Modified Mercalli intensity scale.
Magnitude is the measure of the brightness of a star or other celestial body.And, intensity is the measure of energy flux
It isn't. A magnitude 8.0 is a very high intensity earthquake.
The difference between magnitude and intensity is.... Intensity is the effects of the earth quake. aka: damage and devastation. Magnitude is the strength of the earth quake that is measured by the Richter Scale. (correct me if im wrong at all) :)

A magnitude of 8.0 earthquake could be classified as a low intensity by descriptions of damage to buildings and terrain. The intensity is often greatest near the earthquakes epicenter.

Scalars have magnitude (size). This is in contrast with vectors, which have both a magnitude and a direction.
