How are earthqukes classified?
Earthquakes are classified on the Moment Magnitude scale based on the total amount of energy released. A difference of 1 on the scales (say a 5.0 and a 6.0) means an difference in intensity of a factor of 101.5 or approximately 32.
Why are earthquakes Tsunami and landslides classified as natural disaster?
Tsunamis are usually caused by an earthquake in the sea, and the earthquake may be caused by a volcano. An earthquake is also a natural disaster, because we did not create earthquake, it comes naturally.

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.
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.
A shallow earthquake occurs less than km below earth's surface?
Earthquakes occurring at a depth of less than 70 km are classified as 'shallow-focus' earthquakes, while those with a focal-depth between 70 and 300 km are commonly termed 'mid-focus' or 'intermediate-depth' earthquake.
