Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Evaluate the impact of a shallow-focus earthquake on a city with high-rise buildings. Consider the effect of depth, distance from the hypocentre, and potential structural designs.

💡 Hint: Consider both design constraints and urban planning considerations.

Question 2

Research and present on a major earthquake that was classified as deep-focus. Discuss its geological significance despite lower surface damage.

💡 Hint: Focus on how studying deep-focus earthquakes reveals information about tectonic processes.
