Answer:

he intensity of these shock waves reduces as they move away from the epicenter of the earthquake for two reasons. As the the shock waves move away from epicenter, they cover an enlarging circle of area, with the result that the same energy is distributed over a larger area, resulting in lower energy per unit area
