Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Examine a scenario where a new quarry is being established near a fault line. What precautions should be taken to mitigate the risk of induced seismicity?

💡 Hint: Consider both engineering practices and geological assessments.

Question 2

A recent study finds that a nearby community experiences increased seismic activity correlating with the start of a mining operation. How would you assess if this activity is induced?

💡 Hint: Link your findings with patterns observed in induced seismicity research.
