Richter magnitude scale long as its sensors are not located in the earthquake's shadow. The following describes the typical effects of earthquakes of various magnitudes near the epicenter. The values are typical only. They should be taken with extreme caution, since intensity and thus ground effects depend not only on the magnitude, but also on the distance to the epicenter, the depth of the earthquake's focus beneath the epicenter, the location of the epicenter and geological conditions (certain terrains can amplify seismic signals). The intensity and death toll depend on several factors (earthquake depth, epicenter location, population density, to name a few) and
