Question

Define magnitude....​

Answer 1

Answer:

The magnitude is a number that characterizes the relative size of an earthquake. Magnitude is based on measurement of the maximum motion recorded by a seismograph. Scales 1-3 have limited range and applicability and do not satisfactorily measure the size of the largest earthquakes.

Answer 2

Answer:

Magnitude generally refers to the quantity or distance. In relation to the movement, we can correlate magnitude with the size and speed of the object while travelling. The size of the object or the amount is its magnitude.
