Will give plz m how do the recordings of the slow shakes compare to those when the table was shaken strongly? how would the seismogram of a magnitude 9 earthquake compare to that of a 5 magnitude? explain your reasoning

Intensity is based on the observed effects of ground shaking on people, buildings, and natural features. It varies from place to place within the disturbed region depending on the location of the observer with respect to the earthquake epicenter.

Magnitude is related to the amount of seismic energy released at the hypocenter of the earthquake. It is based on the amplitude of the earthquake waves recorded on instruments which have a common calibration. The magnitude of an earthquake is thus represented by a single, instrumentally determined value.

that's what i got you can count the number of atoms
