Definition
剧烈 (jù liè) emphasizes violent physical force or impact — it's used for pain, exercise, shaking, or sudden physical changes. It differs from strong subjective feelings (强烈), fierce competition/debate (激烈), violent natural forces (猛烈), and ferocious animal behavior (凶猛). 严重 refers to the gravity of a situation, not physical intensity.
