EarthquakesFinal answers:1. Describe the intensity of an earthquake as you move farther from the epicenter. The intensity of an earthquake decreases as a distance from the epicenter increases. This is because the energy released at the epicenter dissipates as it travels outwards.2. Define earthquake using the terms magnitude, intensity, and energy. An earthquake is the shaking of the ground caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere. Magnitude measures the size of the earthquake at its source, while intensity describes the effects of the earthquake at a specific location, both related to the energy released.
