Answer:
there are two primary scale 1 . the Richter scale 2.the mercalli scale
Answer:
Explanation:
a)Epicenter is the location on the surface of the Earth directly above where the earthquake starts. Focus (aka Hypocenter) is the location in the Earth where the earthquake starts.
b)Ritcher scale and Merchalli scale
c)Some factors that affect intensity are: -
The distance away from the epicenter, the depth of the earthquake, the population density of the area affected by the earthquake, the local geology of the are, the type of building construction in the area, and the duration of the shaking.
Magnitude also affects intensity, since in earthquakes of a higher magnitude has a higher intensity than an earthquake of lower magnitude. But an earthquake in a densely populated ara that results in many deaths and considerable damage (high intensity) may have the same magnitude as an earthquake in a remote area that does more than frighten the wildlife (low intensity).
