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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
