The earthquake's magnitude and intensity both tell you how severe an earthquake may be. How are they different?

1 answer:

3 0

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.

Researchers have developed a program that measures how many planet earths are needed to provide the resources humanity is using.

Researchers have developed a program that measures how many planet earths are needed to provide the resources humanity is using. this ecological yardstick is called ecological footprint

The Global Footprint Network promotes the ecological footprint as a way to assess how much nature is needed to sustain a given number of people or an economy. Through an ecological accounting system, it monitors this demand. The accounts compare the biologically productive areas used by people for consumption to the biologically productive areas available in a region or around the world (biocapacity, the productive area that can regenerate what people demand from nature).
