Strong:
Felt by all; many frightened and run outdoors, walk unsteadily. Windows, dishes, glassware broken; books fall off shelves; some heavy furniture moved or overturned; a few instances of fallen plaster. Damage slight.

Earthquake intensity MM4.5 corresponds to a moderate earthquake. It can cause shaking of indoor items, rattling noises, and vibrations similar to the passing of a truck. While generally not causing significant damage, some objects may fall or be displaced, and people might feel alarmed or uncomfortable.

What scale does PAGASA used to measure the intensity of an earthquake?
PAGASA used richter scale to measure the intensity of an earthquake
Why do earthquake's impacts vary?
differences in earthquake intensity; differences in demographics at/near the earthquake site
Is the greatest intensity of an earthquake always found in the epicenter?
No, the greatest intensity of an earthquake is not always found at the epicenter. The intensity of an earthquake can vary at different locations depending on the distance from the epicenter, the depth of the earthquake, and the local geological conditions. In some cases, the intensity may be greater at locations further away from the epicenter due to the way seismic waves propagate.
Which earthquake scale takes into consideration the damage caused by an earthquake?
Earthquake scales that take into consideration the damage caused by an earthquake are known as intensity scales. Examples include the The Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale and the Macroseismic Scale.
What are the intensity and the magnitude of the earthquake in the Philippine?
180
Why is the lower intensity than an area closer to the epicenter?
Because the force of the earthquake is strong.
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
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.
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 a magnitude-8.0 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.
What is the intensity of Mexico City earthquake?
It had an intensity of 8.1 on the Righter magnitude scale. As a means of comparison, it had an intensity of roughly 100 times than that of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.
Why do earthquake's impacts vary?
differences in earthquake intensity; differences in demographics at/near the earthquake site
What was the intensity of the Indian Ocean earthquake?
the intensity was high reaching an 98 ftTsunami
