Phivolcs states that magnitude measures the energy of an earthquake from its focus. It is calculated from earthquakes recorded by an instrument called a seismograph.
On the other hand, intensity refers to the strength of an earthquake as felt and perceived by people in an area. It is based on interconnected impacts on people, objects, the environment, and surrounding structures. Intensity is typically higher closer to the epicenter.
