25. The difference between an earthquakes intensity and magnitude is that • The intensity is based on the amount of damage caused by the earthquake and the magnitude is the force released by movement of fault • The magnitude is based on the amount of damage caused by the earthquake and the intensity is the force released by movement of fault • Only the intensity is determined by a seismograph • There is no difference; they are interchangeable terms
