if its really deep
can any one find a better answerA 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.

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.
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.
There are two instruments, which are basically the same thing. There is the seismograph , and a more specific tool measures the waves on what is called the Richter scale. Earthquakes are given a number from one to ten, ten being the strongest. The strongest earthquake that their ever was, was measured a 9.3.
To estimate the magnitude or amount of damage it could cause to infrastructure and environment.
By this you could mean 2 things:How long after the main earthquake do aftershocks occur?A: This depends on the magnitude of the main quake, and the faultline and how much tension there is between the tectonic plates.2. For how long after the main earthquake do aftershocks occur?A: This again depends on the magnitude of the main earthquake and the faultline.
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.
The smallest magnitude that could be felt by humans is at least a 5.5
