Question 1
What is the hypocentre?
- The point on the earth's surface above the earthquake
- The starting point of an earthquake rupture
- A type of seismic wave
💡 Hint: Think about where seismic events originate.
Question 2
True or False: The depth of the hypocentre does not affect magnitude calculations.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Calculate the Moment Magnitude for a hypothetical earthquake with a fault area of 100 km², a slip of 1 m, and a shear modulus of 30 GPa.
💡 Hint: Use the appropriate units when calculating.
Question 2
Evaluate how different hypocentre depths would alter Body Wave Magnitude readings. Can you provide a comparative analysis of shallow vs. deep-focus earthquakes?
💡 Hint: Consider how wave propagation is affected by depth.
