Answer to Question 1

Surface waves cause this material to shake, lose its cohesiveness, and collapse. Sometimes they mix
with water and move like a fluid, in a process called liquefaction.



Answer to Question 2

An earthquake can have only one magnitude, but it will have different intensities in different locations.
