Answer:

The correct answer is: a) it relies on testimony from people.

Explanation:

The Mercalli intensity scale, unlike the Richter scale, does not directly measure the energy of an earthquake. Rather, it takes into account the damage and effects that the earthquake caused. When there is little damage, it relies on the testimony of people who felt the earthquake, which may vary and is ultimately subjective to people's perception.

The Mercalli Intensity Scale ranges from "Not felt" to "Catastrophic" going through 12 scale intensities.

KATRIN_1 [288]
If you look at the map of Central America, you can see that the volcanoes are all on the left side- towards the Pacific, and Honduras is mostly lying on the Atlantic side. 

So the answer is, Honduras doesn't have any active volcanoes. It has some, but they are all extinct now (Isla del Tigre for example)

Answer:

b. Campaign's temperature variation would become greater with colder winters and hotter summers.
