Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a specific fault type and a defined magnitude, develop a scenario event considering both hypocentral distance and rupture directionality. Explain your choices.

💡 Hint: Consider how the depth and type of fault influence the ground shaking.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze potential impacts on urban infrastructure due to different hypocentre depths in earthquakes of the same magnitude. Provide examples.

💡 Hint: Think about how distance from the surface alters the shaking intensity.
