Question 1
What determines Body Wave Magnitude (Mb)?
- Amplitude of S-waves
- Amplitude of P-waves
- Distance to epicentre
💡 Hint: Remember which waves are detected first.
Question 2
True or False: Body Wave Magnitude is influenced by the medium through which waves travel.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Consider how materials can vary.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
An earthquake occurs at a depth of 50 km and has a measured P-wave amplitude of 10 micrometers. If another earthquake occurs at 10 km depth with a P-wave amplitude of 5 micrometers, how would their Body Wave Magnitudes compare?
💡 Hint: Evaluate how amplitude and depth interact.
Question 2
In a geological survey, a seismologist notes that two earthquakes have the same moment magnitude but different body wave magnitudes. Discuss possible reasons for this difference.
💡 Hint: Consider how each measurement interacts with geological factors.
