11. What do you mean by seismologist? Discuss focus/hypocenter and epicenter. How do we
measure its magnitude and intensity?
Answers
Answer:
Seismologists are Earth scientists, specialized in geophysics, who study the genesis and the propagation of seismic waves in geological materials. ... The fundamental work of a seismologist is to locate the source, the nature, and the size (magnitude) of these seismic events.
Explanation:
Magnitude and Intensity measure different characteristics of earthquakes. Magnitude measures the energy released at the source of the earthquake. Magnitude is determined from measurements on seismographs. Intensity measures the strength of shaking produced by the earthquake at a certain location.

The hypocenter is the point within the earth where an earthquake rupture starts. The epicenter is the point directly above it at the surface of the Earth. Also commonly termed the focus.
they are measured by seismogram
