Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the elastic strain equation E = 1/2 k x^2, where k represents stiffness and x is the change in position, how does increasing the strain impact the displacement seen at the fault?

💡 Hint: Think about how energy accumulation in the elastic potential influences the energy transition.

Question 2

A fault experiences an average displacement of 5 meters with a recorded strain of 150 units. Calculate the displacement if the strain were to double.

💡 Hint: Consider how strain and displacement correlate based on the relationships discussed.
