If you are speaking of earthquakes, read on. Magnitude is the level of ground movement that occurs during a quake. It is measured using seismographs and expressed using the Richter scale. Intensity is based upon many factors, mainly damage caused and how many people felt it/what it felt like. It is expressed using a scale in roman numerals that goes up to twelve. (though I cannot recall the name of the scale, if it had one)
Earthquake magnitude is measured using a number of differing scales including the Richter scale, the moment magnitude scale and the surface magnitude scale. Intensity is measured using he Modified Mercalli intensity scale.
It isn't. A magnitude 8.0 is a very high intensity earthquake.
The difference between magnitude and intensity is.... Intensity is the effects of the earth quake. aka: damage and devastation. Magnitude is the strength of the earth quake that is measured by the Richter Scale. (correct me if im wrong at all) :)

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.
Magnitude
Intensity and magnitude can mean the same thing, although it is a weak connection. The word intensity generally refers to our emotions and how we feel. Magnitude refers to size.
Earthquake magnitude is measured using a number of differing scales including the Richter scale, the moment magnitude scale and the surface magnitude scale. Intensity is measured using he Modified Mercalli intensity scale.
Magnitude is the measure of the brightness of a star or other celestial body.And, intensity is the measure of energy flux

Intensity is the magnitude of (some quality, such as) power or size.
