increase / rise
'die Erhöhung' and 'die Intensivierung' can both express that something becomes stronger or increases. 'Erhöhung' fits especially well with numbers, amounts, and measurable values, for example prices, taxes, or temperatures. 'Intensivierung' is used more when an activity, a feeling, or a process becomes stronger and more effective, for example training, controls, or cooperation. They can be confused when the general idea is 'more'. A practical tip: with a number, 'Erhöhung' is often more natural; with stronger activity or greater effect, 'Intensivierung' is more likely.
