Question 1

What does the intensity of seismic waves do as the distance from the epicentre increases?

  • Increases
  • Decreases
  • Remains the same

💡 Hint: Consider the inverse relationship between distance and intensity.

Question 2

True or False: The soil type has no effect on earthquake intensity.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how different soils can absorb or amplify seismic waves.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider an earthquake with the epicentre located under a city. Describe how seismic intensity will differ in three different zones of the city located at varying distances from the epicentre.

💡 Hint: Think about how materials and distances away from the source affect the shaking.

Question 2

Using a hypothetical earthquake's data, calculate how much intensity might decay at 2 km, 5 km, and 10 km from the epicentre based on average attenuation rates.

💡 Hint: Use real attenuation models or research papers for reference.
