Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A locked fault accumulates 500 units of strain before slipping. Calculate the energy released during the subsequent earthquake if 1 unit of strain equates to 2 units of energy.
💡 Hint: Use the relation between strain and energy for your calculations.
If a creeping fault is experiencing continuous movement releasing energy at a rate of 10 units per year, how much energy will be released over 15 years?
💡 Hint: Consider this as a simple multiplication of the energy release rate.
