The factors which affect the intensity of earthquakes are as follows:

1. Earthquake's magnitude

  • The speed and timing of the earthquake are important factors that affect the intensity of the earthquake. The more the speed, the greater the intensity.

2. Site's proximity to the fault

  • The location of the place is also important. If it is located on unstable land, it will suffer a greater intensity of the earthquake than on land with a stable plain.

3. Soil type

  • The soil type is related to the power of absorbing the tremor shocks. Different soils have different absorbing power, and thus it affects the intensity of the earthquake.
