The 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.
the relationship between earthquakes magnitude is the size or amount of energy an earthquake produces and has no connection to hour often earthquakes occur.
An earthquakes intensity
True! Damage caused by earthquakes is measured using intensity scales such as the Modified Mercalli scale or the European Macroseismic Scale (EMS), whereas the energy released during an earthquake is measured using a magnitude scale such as the Moment magnitude scale or the now outdated Richter scale.
Strong-motion seismometers (which are also known as Accelerographs) are used to measure the intensity of earthquakes. It should be noted that intensity is different from magnitude and is measured using a differing scale (Moddified Mercalli or Macroseismic scale for intensity vs Moment Magnitude scale for earthquake magnitudes.)Seismometers / accelerometers measure the intensity of earthquakes.Seismometers - instruments that measure motions of the ground.The visual output, either on a monitor or on paper is called a seismographSeismometers are in part used to measure the intensity of earthquakes. The scale used to measure earthquake intensity is known as the Modified Mercalli scale. A variation of this is used in Europe and is known as the Macroseismic scale.Earthquakes are measured with a seismometer.Seismometers and accelerometers are used to measure the acceleration of the ground surface and the total amplitude of seismic waves during an earthquake.These values are used by seismologists to find the intensity of the earthquake (along with observations of the damage done to structures).Earthquakes are measured using machines called SEISMOMETERS which record the shaking as waves on a graph .The magnitude of most earthquakes is measured on the Richter scale, invented by Charles F. Richter in 1934. The Richter magnitude is calculated from the amplitude of the largest seismic wave recorded for the earthquake, no matter what type of wave was the strongest.
The intensity of earthquakes is measured on the Richter Scale.

They use a richter scale to measure intensity and magnitude.
Magnitude
The difference is that intensity is the extent of damage released by an earthquake and is measured differently at different places depending on its distance from the epicenter while the magnitude is the amount of energy released by an earthquake and it has a fixed energy as it is released by an earthquake.
In physics intensity is the energy density (that is, the energy per unit volume) multiplied it by the velocity at which the energy is moving. The resulting vector has the units of power divided by area, that is in watts per m². It is possible to define the intensity of the water coming from a garden sprinkler, but intensity is used most frequently with waves (i.e. sound or light).Magnitude is a measure of the size of a mathematical object.
Energy: joulesPerhaps you mean power: that would be joules/second = watts Intensity is measured in watts per square meter.

A sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves is called an earthquake. Earthquakes can vary in intensity.
