60sS8ES-IIa-14 - Q11
Which of the following statements does NOT explain the difference of earthquake’s magnitude and intensity?
Magnitude is expressed using Roman Numerals while intensity is expressed using Hindu-Arabic numerals.
Magnitude measures size or strengths of an earthquake while Intensity documents an earthquake’s damage.
Magnitude is written in Hindu-Arabic numerals while intensity is measured in Roman Numerals.
Magnitude measures the energy released while intensity measures the severity of shaking.
