Question 1
What is reservoir-induced seismicity?
- A natural phenomenon occurring without human interference
- Earthquakes induced by the filling of reservoirs
- Only occurs in tectonic regions
💡 Hint: Think about how water changes pressure in geological formations.
Question 2
True or False: Pore pressure increases with the infiltration of water into rock layers.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Consider what water does to a sponge.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given that pore pressure can significantly decrease friction on a fault, derive a scenario where increased reservoir filling leads to an earthquake. Factor in the relationship between normal stress, shear stress, and friction.
💡 Hint: Consider how stress components interact in a mechanical system.
Question 2
Assess the implications of reservoir-induced seismicity for urban planning in a city with multiple large dams. What engineering practices could mitigate seismic risk?
💡 Hint: Think about how forward planning can reduce future risks in vulnerable areas.
