Answer:

D:The rock that shifted to cause earthquake B released more energy

Explanation:

The magnitude of an earthquake is a function of the intensity of the earthquake and energy it releases.

An earthquake is a sudden movement within the earth which causes a release of energy.

  • The magnitude of earthquakes is reported by the intensity of the quakes from the source.
  • Earthquakes with a high intensity will have a high energy.
