What is Measuring Earthquake Intensity and Magnitude about?

Earthquakes are measured using seismic stations that record ground movement and energy release. The severity is commonly expressed through intensity, which assesses the shaking effects at specific locations, and magnitude, which quantifies the energy released, typically using the Richter Scale or the Moment Magnitude Scale. The Richter Scale measures seismic wave amplitude, while the Moment Magnitude Scale accounts for total moment release and is more accurate for larger earthquakes.
