Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a fault slip of 1 meter at a depth of 5 meters, calculate the surface displacement at a distance of 10 meters from the fault using the equation $$ u(x) = \frac{D}{\pi(x^2 + h^2)} $$.

💡 Hint: Don’t forget to square the distances when inserting them into the equation!

Question 2

Discuss how changing the fault depth affects the calculated surface displacement and provide an example calculation for a depth of 10 meters.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how the equation’s parameters interact and affect the output.
