Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A seismic network consists of five stations, but due to a power outage, three stations fail to record data during an earthquake. Discuss how this might impact the calculated epicentre.
💡 Hint: Consider how triangulation relies on multiple points.
Question 2
If a seismic station has a poorly calibrated instrument that consistently underreports P-wave arrival times by 2 seconds, analyze the potential impact this could have on epicentre location.
💡 Hint: Think about how timing affects distance calculations.
