Question 1

What location experiences the highest level of damage during an earthquake?

  • Near the epicentre
  • Far from the epicentre
  • At the hypocentre
  • None of the above

💡 Hint: Think about where the seismic waves start.

Question 2

True or False: Soil type has no influence on the damage caused by earthquakes.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how different surfaces react to sudden forces.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze the damage patterns observed in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, considering factors such as depth, magnitude, and local soil conditions. Based on these factors, predict how damage might vary in a future earthquake in the same region.

💡 Hint: Look at the interaction between the earthquake's attributes and the region's geotechnical profile.

Question 2

Given a hypothetical earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 and a shallow depth, evaluate the potential risk to two buildings, one on soft soil and another on solid rock, located near the epicentre. Discuss the implications for urban planning.

💡 Hint: Think about how the construction could be adapted to different ground conditions.
