Question 1

What is a key reason for geological limitations in determining epicentres?

  • Assumption of uniform Earth
  • High seismic station density
  • Simple wave paths

💡 Hint: Consider what happens when we incorrectly assume uniformity.

Question 2

True or False: Error ellipses represent certainty in epicentre locations.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how we visualize data accuracy.
