Question

(i)Two earthquakes, one of magnitude 4.5 and the other of magnitude 7.5, happened in two different places. Which one is more destructive and why?
(ii)When an earthquake strikes, you should not stand under high tension electric poles and near high rise buildings. Why?
Pls answer both

Answer 1

The magnitude 7.5 is more destructive as the seismic waves is large nd magnitude is more(ii) we should not stand under electric poles as due to high magnitude they can break and my fall on us in Earthquake

Answer 2

1) According to the data mentioned in the question that,

Two earthquakes, one of magnitude 4.5 and the other of magnitude 7.5, happened in two different places.

The 7.5 magnitude earthquake is more destructive, because higher the magnitude level means higher the destruction power of an earthquake.

2) Because, electrical wires or buildings can fall upon us,due to the earthquake's vibrations.
