☞The difference between this two is that the Richter Magnitude Scale measures the amount of seismic energy released by an earthquake,while Intensity is how well you receive the signal, which can depend on your distance from the energy source, the local conditions, and the pathway the signal has to take to reach you.
======================================
Similarities:
☞Intensity and Magnitude of an earthquake are both essential for determining how destructive and strong an earthquake is, these are also both measured by different scales.
Intensity - intensity refers to the severity of the shaking caused by an earthquake and the destruction it can cause. Measured usually by Mercali Scale.
Magnitude - magnitude on the other hand refers to how large an earthquake is, or the size of an earthquake. Measured by seismometers.
