How a magnitude -8.0 earthquake could be classified as a low-intensity earthquake?
if its really deep
can any one find a better answer

How a magnitude earthquake could be classified as a low-intensity earthquake?
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.

Why do they measure the magnitude of an earthquake?
To estimate the magnitude or amount of damage it could cause to infrastructure and environment.
What is magaitude?
You might mean Magnitude magnitude is the measure of energy released in an earthquake. it doesnt change per area like intensity, an earthquake has one magnitude. It may be expressed using several magnitude scales. It is very unlikely that an earthquake of magnitude less than 5 could cause any damage.
Can you give me a sentence with the word magnitude?
The magnitude of the earthquake was 6.5 on the Richter scale. The magnitude of his mistake was monumental. Magnitude also means greatness in size and importance. So a sentence could be: Early explorers of the South American coast had no idea of the MAGNITUDE of the continent.
What is the smallest magnitude earthquake that can be felt by humans?
The smallest magnitude that could be felt by humans is at least a 5.5
Could an earthquake happen in Canada?
Yes it is definitely possible, on June 23, 2010 a 5.0 magnitude earthquake hit eastern Canada.
Has there ever been a 10.0 or greater earthquake in history?
Not that has ever been recorded by man. The largest recorded earthquake occurred off the west coast of Chile in 1960 and had a magnitude of 9.5. It is thought that the impact that occurred 65.5 million years ago creating the Chixulub crater beneath the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico (and thought to have contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs) yielded energy equivalent to an earthquake of magnitude 12.5.
What is the maximum intensity of earthquake in the whole world?
The maximum intensity of earthquakes is typically measured using the Moment Magnitude Scale (Mw), with the strongest recorded earthquake being the 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake, which had a magnitude of 9.2.
