![Magnitude may be compared to the power output in kilowatts of a [radio] broadcasting station; local intensity, on the Mercalli or similar scale, is then comparable to the signal strength noted on a receiver at a given locality. Intensity, like signal strength, will generally fall off with distance from the source; it will also depend on local conditions at the point of observation, and to some extent on the conditions along the path from source to that point.](/assets/img/quote-photos/magnitude-may-be-compared-to-the-power-output-in-kilowatts-of-a-radio-broadcast.jpg)
