A magnitude of 1.5 is the lowest, smaller earthquakes usually cause more damage than bigger depth will be very important as the amount of ground shaking drops off quickly with increasing more friction and depth.

Could an earthquake that has a magnitude 5.9 on the richter scale cause more damage than one that measures 7.5? O no, because it is not as strong; there will not be as much damage O possibly, if nearby
