what is perhaps the benifit of using or depending on an intensity scape of earthquakes,instead of a magnitudes scale???​

Sagot :

Answer:

Intensity scale is laid out in a detailed discussion where in clear representation of the earthquake is being emphasized.

Since earthquake energy dissipates with distance from the epicenter,the intensity of the earthquake also dissipates.Therefore,on a map intensities,one may locate the approximate epicenter of the earthquake at the most intense place.
