The magnitude tells you how much damage has been caused by the earthquake, while the intensity tells you how much energy was released by the earthquake.

The answer is option B.

Magnitude is a measure of earthquake size and stays unchanged with distance from the earthquake. Depth, but, describes the degree of shaking caused by an earthquake at a given area and decreases with distance from the earthquake epicenter.

The severity of an earthquake may be expressed in terms of each depth and value.

Magnitude measures the strength released on the supply of the earthquake. Magnitude is determined from measurements on seismographs. Intensity measures the energy of shaking produced by means of an earthquake in a certain area. intensity is determined from outcomes on human beings, human systems, and the natural surroundings.

How does brain drain relate to population growth
docker41 [41]

Brain drain LITERALLY means that smart people are leaving. This means that people are less educated, and especially with women (since they are the ones reproducing) women do not recognize their reproductive rights. They do not have enough education, and in the end, will end up having multiple kids. Education for women should be more widely available to slow population growth, and more women in the workforce would also help with the economy.

I hope this helps!

Under what conditions does an oxbow lake form?
Nonamiya [84]

whatever you think is similar

An oxbow lake forms when a river creates a meander, due to the river's eroding bank. After a long period of time, the meander becomes very curved, and eventually the neck of the meander becomes narrower and the river cuts through the neck during a flood, cutting off the meander and forming an oxbow lake. -
