Question 1

What is the primary concept behind the elastic rebound theory?

  • Rocks can't deform
  • Rocks deform elastically until rupture
  • Rocks constantly slip

💡 Hint: Consider how stress affects rock behavior.

Question 2

True or False: The energy from an earthquake is stored in rocks before they rupture.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about elastic potential energy.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze the consequences of a rapid rupture in an urban area. What factors would influence the extent of damage caused by the released seismic waves?

💡 Hint: Think about how urban planning can mitigate risk.

Question 2

Model the energy release in an earthquake by considering the force required to exceed the elastic limit of a common material like granite. Input variables such as stress and area to determine potential rupture.

💡 Hint: Refer to material property data for precise calculations.
