Answer:

Earthquake’s magnitude is determined by the use of seismograph, an instrument which continuously records, ground vibration. It is measured on the Richter scale.       The intensity or destructive power of an earthquake is an evaluation of the severity of ground motion at a given location. It is measured in relation to the effects of the earthquake on human life. Generally destruction is described in terms of damage caused to buildings, dams, bridges and other structures.
