QUESTION
Which one describes an intensity scale X?
A. very strong
B. very destructive
C. completely devastating
D. scarely perceptible
ANSWER
Amongst the given choices above the correct answer is letter C. completely devastating.
WHY?
When we say intensity, it is a measurement based on the rate of destructiveness of an earthquake to human properties, infrastructures and buildings.
The destructive effect on the surface of the planet caused by an earthquake, is usually paired with roman numerals, and X means 10 so it is indeed completely devastating in the intensity scale.
