3. As you go away from the focus, what happens to the intensity of the earthquake? a. Both A and B b. It decreases. c. It increases. d. It does not change.

Sagot :

Answer:

B. It decreases

Explanation:

Since intensity decreases with distance from the earthquake, a large deep earthquake, which solely because of its depth is far from Earth's surface, produces small shaking intensity. Thus we cannot use intensity to accurately compare the relative size of shallow and deep earthquakes.
