A city near the epicenter of an earthquake sustains major damage to poorly constructed building, althought hospital and schools designed to resist dmage from ground motion sustsain only minor damage. Tall, thin structure as chmney and towers topple throuhgout the city, and nwely deposited mounds of sands are found on th ground surface near the river. What was the intensity of the erthquaker?
