∙ 7y agoThe magnitude of an earthquake is the amount of energy released at the source of the earthquake and is measured by a seismograph. Intensity is shaking strength of an earthquake at a particular location.
Isaac Batz
Magnitude of an earthquake measures the energy released at the source, while intensity measures the effects at a specific location. Magnitude is a single value that describes the earthquake's size, whereas intensity varies depending on factors like distance from the epicenter, local geology, and building structures.
Plate tectonics help explain the movement of Earth's crustal plates and how they interact at plate boundaries to create features such as mountains, earthquakes, and volcanoes. It also helps to understand the distribution of earthquakes and volcanic activity around the world.
Earthquakes are mainly caused by the movement of tectonic plates along faults in the Earth's crust. When these plates shift, they release energy in the form of seismic waves, causing the ground to shake. The effects of earthquakes can include structural damage to buildings, landslides, tsunamis, and even loss of life.
The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain how earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
The theory of plate tectonics helps explain the locations of earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain-building around the world. This theory describes how the Earth's lithosphere is divided into several large plates that move and interact with each other, resulting in these geological phenomena.
The tectonic plate model helps scientists explain earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. It states that the Earth's lithosphere is divided into large plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere, which interact with each other at plate boundaries, leading to geological phenomena such as earthquakes along faults and volcanic eruptions at convergent plate boundaries.

The absolute magnitude is a measure of the star's luminosity hence the smaller the size the less the absolute magnitude.
Weather happens in the sky, earthquakes happen under the ground.
To explain earthquakes in any reasonable way you must use facts. Relevant personal anecdotal additions may be added for variety but must also be based on fact.
I would introduce earthquakes in a presentation by making poster that shows the layers of the earth including the plates. Along with the poster, I would explain how earthquakes are formed.

Typically, earthquakes need to be at least a magnitude of 2.5 on the Richter scale for people to feel it. The magnitude required for human detection can vary based on factors like distance to the epicenter, local geology, and the sensitivity of the person.
