Explanation:
Earthquake Motion
The vibrations of engineering significance occur at frequencies from less than 0.2 Hz to 20 Hz (periods from about 5 seconds down to about 0.05 seconds). This is just below the range of ordinary sound vibrations.
5.0–5.9 moderate some damage to weak structures
6.0–6.9 strong moderate damage in populated areas
7.0–7.9 major serious damage over large areas; loss of life
8.0 and higher great severe destruction and loss of life over large areas
