What does it mean if an earthquake has high magnitude but a low intensity?

If an earthquake has a high magnitude but a low intensity, it means that the earthquake releases a large amount of energy (high magnitude), but the impact on the surface and human life is relatively less severe (low intensity). In other words, the earthquake may be felt over a large area due to its power, but the damage caused is limited. This could be due to factors such as the depth of the earthquake's focus, distance from populated areas, or the strength of building infrastructure in the affected region.
