What affects the intensity of an earthquake?
Well I don't know all that much about Earthquakes but I do know this. The location can affect the intensity of an Earthquake, because of where it is on the Earth. Good bye.
What was the magnitude calculated by real seismologists for this earthquake?
An answer can't be given because we don't know the earthquake you ask about.
How do seismographs benefit us?
Seismology is advantageous because it can help predict earthquakes. It can also help compile earthquake statistics and data for future use.

How does the Richter scale know if there is an aftershock?
The Richter scale does not know anything. The Richter scale is a measurement of the magnitude of an earthquake. The numbers of the scale represent a quantifiable measurement or range of the strength.
Will an earthquake ever occur in Europe?
yes..! several times, even in each week. Many people don't know about these as the intensity of these are very small.
What is the magnitude of the largest earthquake in the US?
Magnitude 9.2 including Alaska and 9.0 in the lower 48 states.According to USGS National Earthquake Information Center it was magnitude 9.2 on March 28, 1964 in Prince William Sound, Alaska.On January 26, 1700.was the largest known earthquake (magnitude 9.0) to have occurred in the "lower 48" United States that rocked Cascadia, a region 600 miles long that includes northern California, Oregon, Washington, and southern British Columbia
Where was the smallest earthquake ever recorded?
Somewhere in the 3.0 to 4.0 magnitude range, depending on the geology and, of course, how close you are to the epicenter.
What was the magnitude of the largest earthquake in the US and where did it occur and how many were there?
