Question 1
What is the key concept of the Elastic Rebound Theory?
- Stored energy in rocks is released when they break
- Rocks compress without any movement
- Rocks move continuously along the fault
💡 Hint: Think about the release of stored energy during an earthquake.
Question 2
True or False: A larger seismic moment indicates a more powerful earthquake.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Link this to the concept of fault size and displacement.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Using recent earthquake data, calculate the seismic moment for an earthquake that had a fault displacement of 3 meters, with an area of 50 km² and a rigidity modulus of 30 GPa.
💡 Hint: Make sure to convert units correctly to maintain consistency in calculations.
Question 2
Analyze the impact of a locked fault on surrounding infrastructure during a sudden rupture event.
💡 Hint: Consider how stress accumulation over time affects buildings and infrastructure.
