View Available Hint(s)for Part A The area with the 7.0 magnitude earthquake has a higher population than the area with the 8.0 magnitude earthquake. The construction materials used in buildings in the area with the 7.0 magnitude earthquake are of poorer quality than those used in the area of the 8.0 magnitude earthquake. The area with the 7.0 magnitude earthquake is completely flat, whereas the area with the 8.0 magnitude earthquake is directly surrounded by slopes of unstable sediment. The 7.0 magnitude earthquake lasts longer than an 8.0 magnitude earthquake. The area with the 7.0 magnitude earthquake is composed of dry, compact soil, whereas the area with the 8.0 magnitude earthquake is composed of waterlogged soil.
