How are earthquake magnitude and intensity measured?
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.
Why is a 8.0 magnitude earthquake considered a low intensity earthquake?
It isn't. A magnitude 8.0 is a very high intensity earthquake.
Differentiate between magnitude and intensity?
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) :)
How many times stronger is a magnitude 9 earthquake than a 5 earthquake?
A magnitude 9 earthquake is 10,000x stronger than a magnitude 5.
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.
How much stronger is a magnitude 8 earthquake than a magnitude 6?
A magnitude 8 earthquake is 100 times stronger than a magnitude 6 quake.
Diffentiate between intensity and 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.
The Richter scale measures magnitude or intensity?
Magnitude
How are earthquake magnitude and intensity measured?
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.
Define magnitude and intensity?
Magnitude is the measure of the brightness of a star or other celestial body.And, intensity is the measure of energy flux
Why is a 8.0 magnitude earthquake considered a low intensity earthquake?
It isn't. A magnitude 8.0 is a very high intensity earthquake.
Differentiate between magnitude and intensity?
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) :)
Is A Richter and Moment Magnitude 8 earthquake twice as large as a Richter or Moment Magnitude 4 earthquake?
No, but it would be much stronger.
What are the intensity and the magnitude of the earthquake in the Philippine?
180
What is the intensity of 7.5 magnitude?
baguio city
How many times stronger is a magnitude 9 earthquake than a 5 earthquake?
A magnitude 9 earthquake is 10,000x stronger than a magnitude 5.
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.
