An earthquake has a high magnitude but a low intensity. Which statement best explains this?(1 point)
Responses
Magnitude measures the duration of the earthquake, while intensity measures the amount of damage.
Magnitude measures the duration of the earthquake, while intensity measures the amount of damage.
Magnitude measures the duration of the earthquake, while intensity measures the energy released by the earthquake.
Magnitude measures the duration of the earthquake, while intensity measures the energy released by the earthquake.
Magnitude measures the energy released by the earthquake, while intensity measures its duration.
Magnitude measures the energy released by the earthquake, while intensity measures its duration.
Magnitude measures the energy released by the earthquake, while intensity measures the amount of damage.
Magnitude measures the energy released by the earthquake, while intensity measures the amount of damage.
u sure
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. I made a mistake in my understanding.
To clarify, magnitude measures the energy released by an earthquake, while intensity measures the effects and damage caused by the earthquake at a particular location.
In the given scenario, if an earthquake has a high magnitude but a low intensity, it means that the earthquake released a significant amount of energy, but the effects and damage at the specific location where intensity is being measured were relatively low.
Magnitude measures the energy released by the earthquake, while intensity measures the amount of damage.
which answer
I apologize for the confusion. The correct answer is:
Magnitude measures the energy released by the earthquake, while intensity measures the amount of damage.
The National Seismic Hazard Map classified one location as having the “highest hazard” and another location as having the “lowest hazard.” Based on this classification, which conclusion can you draw between the "highest hazard" and "lowest hazard" locations?(1 point)
Responses
"Highest hazard" locations are better prepared for an earthquake than the "lowest hazard" locations.
"Highest hazard" locations are better prepared for an earthquake than the "lowest hazard" locations.
There will never be an earthquake in the "lowest hazard" location in the future.
There will never be an earthquake in the "lowest hazard" location in the future.
There is more likely to be an earthquake in a "highest hazard" location than in a "lowest hazard" location.
There is more likely to be an earthquake in a "highest hazard" location than in a "lowest hazard" location.
There will definitely be an earthquake in the "highest hazard" location.
There will definitely be an earthquake in the "highest hazard" location.

How are P waves different from S waves?(1 point)
Responses
P waves push and pull in the same direction as the wave, and S waves move up and down.
