An earthquake of magnitude 2.0 or 3.0 on this scale is mild, while a magnitude of 6 means a strong earthquake.

The intensity of an earthquake is estimated by the energy waves emanating from its epicenter. This wave, which extends for hundreds of kilometers, vibrates. There are cracks in the earth. If the epicenter of the earthquake is at a low depth, then the energy released from it is very close to the surface, causing great destruction.
