To reach a level of accuracy in describing the earth in terms of the five themes of geography, people would have resorted to the following methods, mostly driven by observation:Location – geographic positioning would have been made through celestial navigation, or observing heavenly bodies (the Sun, Moon, fixed stars) and their relation to one’s location. Mapping would have been done by looking at the physical boundaries of one’s area.Place – observing the inhabitants of a place made people define the characteristics of that place. For example, racial characteristics of inhabitants, and physical characteristics of animal life that thrive in that area.Human and Environment Interactions – observing the seasons and climate of one’s geographical location, and how this affects people, primarily in the agricultural senseMovement – how humans move and interact with their environment establishes a description of the area. Observing how terrain affects the movement of a community (e.g., living in a sparse desert encourages inhabitants to be nomads, as opposed to living in a fertile valley which encourages farming.)Regions – the change in the terrain makes people define their environment. For example, volcanic eruptions can make people wary of the damage it can cause, but at the same time it makes people adapt to the change in land forms brought about by the eruption – for example, more fertile soil, changes in the flow of waterways, change in the availability of animal life for hunting or fishing.

lara [203]

Answer:B. Intensity

Explanation:

The Intensity of an earth quake refers to the noticeable and severity effects of damage on man made structures, natural(crops and livestock) and human life at different locations. To measure the intensity of an earthquake, the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale is used and consists  of 12  levels of intensity(in roman numerals) that  rank the extent of damage based on observable effects with the higher levels based  on structural damage.  

A Level I -V1 Intensity on the scale will show slight damages to properties and treatable injuries to people, but going higher on the scale above VI  shows total damage and destruction to structures and human life.
