An earthquake has a high magnitude but a low intensity. Which statement best explains this?(1 point)
1 Magnitude measures the duration of the earthquake, while intensity measures the amount of damage.
2 Magnitude measures the energy released by the earthquake, while intensity measures the amount of damage.
3 Magnitude measures the duration of the earthquake, while intensity measures the energy released by the earthquake.
4 Magnitude measures the energy released by the earthquake, while intensity measures its duration.
The National Seismic Hazard Map classifies Region A as having the “highest hazard” and Region B as having the “lowest hazard.” Based on this classification, which conclusion can you draw?(1 point)
1 There is more likely to be an earthquake in Region A than in Region B.
2 There will definitely be an earthquake in Region A in the near future.
3 Region A is better prepared for an earthquake than Region B.
4 There will not be an earthquake in Region B in the near future.
How are P waves different from S waves?(1 point)
1 P waves push and pull in the same direction as the wave, and S waves move up and down.
2 P waves cause damage, and S waves do not cause damage.
3 P waves move under Earth’s surface, and S waves move along Earth’s surface.
4 P waves travel slowly, and S waves travel quickly.
What does a seismograph measure?(1 point)
1 the total amount of energy released by an earthquake
2 the distance from the epicenter of an earthquake
3 the vibrations produced by an earthquake
4 the amount of damage that results from an earthquake

3.A p waves push and pull
4.A the vibrations produced
2. D: there is more likely to be an earthquake in region a than in region B
3. C: P waves push and pull in the same direction as the wave, and S waves move up and down

I AM 100% Correct.
1. Magnitude measures the energy released by the Earthquake, while intensity measures the amount of damage.
2. There is more likely to be an Earthquake in a "highest hazard" location than in a "lowest hazard" location.
3. P waves push and pull in the same direction as the wave, and S waves move up and down.
4. The vibrations produced by an Earthquake.
