Question 1

What is the main purpose of geodetic measurements in earthquake studies?

  • To measure earthquake magnitudes
  • To track crustal deformation
  • To record seismic waves

💡 Hint: Think about what these measurements show us regarding land.

Question 2

True or False: Paleoseismology uses modern earthquakes to predict future seismic activity.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider whether it looks at past or present events.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Explain the relationship between crustal strain and the occurrence of earthquakes, focusing on how geodetic measurements and paleoseismological studies support Elastic Rebound Theory.

💡 Hint: Think about both evidence types and how they describe energy accumulation and release.

Question 2

Design a simple experiment that would test the elastic behavior of a common material. Detail what you would measure and how it supports theories about earthquake mechanisms.

💡 Hint: Consider easy-to-implement materials and what relevant comparisons can be drawn to rock behavior.
