Answer:
Question 1.)
Magnitude is a measure of earthquake size and remains unchanged with distance from the earthquake.
Intensity describes the degree of shaking caused by an earthquake at a given place and decreases with distance from the earthquake epicentre.
Question 2.)
Active faults are structure along which we expect displacement to occur. By definition, since a shallow earthquake is a process that produces displacement across a fault, all shallow earthquakes occur on active faults. Inactive faults are structures that we can identify, but which do no have earthquakes.
