This video explains the difference between two measures of earthquake size as represented by earthquake magnitude and earthquake intensity. We discuss why the fabled Richter scale no longer is effective in accounting for large earthquakes; we consider how fault length is related to earthquake magnitude and whether it is possible to get a future magnitude 10 earthquake; and, we discuss how everyday folks can apply the intensity scale to assess earthquake damages around them.
