Interactive Quizzes
Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.
Question 1
What is crustal heterogeneity?
- Variations in rock density
- Unchanging rock types
- Uniform geological structures
💡 Hint: Consider how the Earth's crust is not uniform.
Question 2
True or False: Crustal heterogeneity has no effect on seismic wave paths.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: What do we know about how waves behave in different materials?

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A seismic wave traveling through three different rock layers with varying densities shows significant delay at the boundary. Calculate the expected delay if the first layer is 2 km thick at 5 km/s, the second layer is 3 km thick at 8 km/s, and the third layer is 1 km thick at 12 km/s. Discuss how this delay correlates with crustal heterogeneity.
💡 Hint: Break down the calculation layer by layer.
Question 2
Analyze a scenario where an earthquake occurs in a region with significant crustal heterogeneity. Describe how this could impact the accuracy of epicenter location and the implications for disaster response.
💡 Hint: Consider what factors influence wave propagation and how that translates into real-world outcomes.
