Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given an earthquake occurs with a hypocentre depth of 25 km, predict its likely impact on buildings located 10 km from the epicentre.
💡 Hint: Consider the effects of depth on wave energy and how it dissipates by the time it reaches the surface.
Question 2
Evaluate how building codes might differ if an area's seismic activity showed a trend of shallower hypocentres compared to deeper ones.
💡 Hint: Think about how earthquake risks increase with depth and proximity.
