Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a comprehensive study that examines the limitations of the elastic rebound theory in a specific geological context, such as the San Andreas Fault. Discuss your methodology and expected outcomes.

💡 Hint: Focus on how specific geological features affect stress distribution.

Question 2

Evaluate the effectiveness of both rate-and-state friction models and viscoelastic models in predicting seismic behavior. Provide specific examples.

💡 Hint: Consider how each model has been applied in real-world scenarios.
