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.

lord [1]

The 1994 flood did not stay within the floodplain and valley slopes rather it covered a larger portion of Georgia where many people lost their lives.

Tropical Storm Alberto produced massive flooding over areas of Alabama, Georgia, and Florida in  1994. The first tropical cyclone that occurs during annual hurricane season, Alberto came from a tropical wave over the northwestern Caribbean Sea.

Floodwaters entered hundreds of homes and led people to flee their homes. Georgia experienced the worst effects from the storm. Flooding resulted in the closure of bridges, while croplands were overrun in Georgia alone. By the end of the flood, people were displaced and there was massive destruction of property. The flood was an abnormal magnitude of the river.

<h3>What is civilization?</h3>

Civilization refers to the complex human society usually made up of different cities with certain characteristics of cultural development.

Arturo is studying how the food traditions of different island cultures developed. Islands closer to the continent had more similarities in cuisine than islands far from any other civilizations.

These are the spatial interactions and therefore, cultural diffusion is more frequent with shorter distances.
