III. Practice Exercise:
Directions: Read the questions carefully and encircle the letter of the correct answer
1. Intensity is to Damage while Magnitude is to
a. Wave b. Amplitude C. Energy d. Force

2. Which of the following measures of an earthquake will decrease when observed farther from the epicenter?
a. Intensity b. Magnitude c. Depth of the focus
d. Location of the epicenter

3. What happen to the magnitude and intensity as measured farther from the epicenter?
a. Magnitude increases while intensity decreases
b. Magnitude decreases while intensity increases
c. Magnitude increases while intensity remains constant
d. Magnitude remains constant while intensity decreases
4. Is intensity 2 and magnitude 2 of an earthquake the same? Why?
a. No, because intensity is a measure of an earthquake in terms of energy while magnitude is a measure of the damaged caused by an earthquake.
b. No, because intensity is a measure of the severity of damaged caused by an earthquake while magnitude is a measure of energy released.
c. Yes, because both intensity 2 and magnitude 2 are considered weak vibration of the ground and can hardly felt by people.
d. Yes, because both have equal quantity thus, they can be interpreted similarly.

IV. Evaluation:
Directions: Write TRUE if the statement is correct, FALSE if it is incorrect.
1. The magnitude of an earthquake is a measure of intensity.
2. A magnitude of 5.2-earthquake may be felt over the areas where it occurs.
3. An intensity IIl-earthquake has an equivalent magnitude of 3.0 to 4.0.
4. Magnitude decreases with increasing distance while intensity remain the same.
5. Magnitude can be measured by an instrument while intensity is by observation.
