Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Calculate the potential impact of an earthquake with a hypocentre at 15 km depth versus one at 300 km depth. Discuss the expected seismic wave intensity and structural implications.
💡 Hint: Think about how distance affects the energy felt at the surface.
Question 2
Using a scenario where a seismic event's hypocentre is detected 20 km underground, propose structural design modifications needed for a building near the epicentre.
💡 Hint: Consider how materials respond differently based on the nature of seismic waves.
