How does an intensity 5 earthquake differ from an intensity 7 earthquake?
An intensity 5 earthquake is felt by a few number of people outdoors while an intensity 7 earthquake is felt generally by people outdoors
What is the relationship between depth of focus and earthquake intensity?
7
Why is the lower intensity than an area closer to the epicenter?
Because the force of the earthquake is strong.
How strong is the 1937 cebu earthquake?
7
Why is a 8.0 magnitude earthquake considered a low intensity earthquake?
It isn't. A magnitude 8.0 is a very high intensity earthquake.
Which scale provides intensity maps of earthquake damage?
The seismic scale that measures the intensity of earthquake damage is called the Mercalli intensity scale. This scale measures the effect an earthquake has on people and surroundings.
What scale does PAGASA used to measure the intensity of an earthquake?
PAGASA used richter scale to measure the intensity of an earthquake
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 might a magnitude 7 earthquake have less intensity than a magnitude 6 earthquake?
There are many factors. One would be the distance a person is from the epicenter. A person who is further from a magnitude 7 earthquake would be less affected by the shockwaves than a person nearer to the epicenter of a magnitude 6 earthquake. The place the person is in at the time of the earthquake also may affect the intensity of what he feels. If one is in a tall and stable building during an earthquake, he would not feel the vibrations as much as one standing on the streets. The scale measuring the intensity of earthquakes should be considered too. A Mercalli Intensity Scale measuring magnitude 6 may possibly be more powerful than a Richter Scale measuring a magnitude 7, as more damage is caused.
The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on the earth's surface?
The intensity of an earthquake measures the effect of an earthquake
What was the intensity of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake?
According to the US Geological Survey, the 1906 earthquake reached a maximum intensity of 9 on the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale.
How strong was Los Angeles earthquake 1994?
it was 6-7 magnituoe
