19.14.2. Fault Mapping

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is fault mapping?

   Hint

   Think about the purpose of seismology.

2. 2.

   What is an active fault?

   Hint

   Consider the activity timeframe.

3. 3.

   What is the primary purpose of fault mapping?

   • To predict weather patterns
   • To identify active faults and understand seismic risks
   • To explore mineral resources

   Hint

   Focus on seismology objectives.

4. 4.

   True or False: Seismic microzonation is unrelated to fault mapping.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about the connection between these terms.

5. 5.

   How would you recommend using fault mapping data to improve urban infrastructure in a seismic zone?

   Hint

   Think of best practices in urban planning.

6. 6.

   If a new active fault is discovered, what steps should be taken to update seismic microzonation maps?

   Hint

   Consider collaboration between geoscientists and urban planners.
