Why is Moment Magnitude (Mw) the preferred magnitude scale today? Group of answer choices This scale directly relates how long an earthquake lasts and the distance the seismic waves travel to calculate the magnitude This scale directly relates the fault rupture area, average slip, and shear modulus of the surrounding rock the earthquake is located in to calculate the magnitude This scale directly relates the shear modulus of the surrounding rock, average slip of the fault, and time the earthquake lasts to calculate the magnitude This scale directly relates intensity, fault rupture area, and average slip where the earthquake is located to calculate the magnitude
