Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider an earthquake scenario with a magnitude of 8.0, a hypocentre depth of 10 km, and a strike-slip fault. Predict the potential impact on nearby urban areas.
💡 Hint: Evaluate how the parameters correlate with intensity and surface impact.
Compare two scenario events: one at a 5 km hypocentre depth with a 6.0 magnitude and another at a 40 km depth with a 7.0 magnitude. What might be the differences in their surface effects?
💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between depth, magnitude, and surface shaking.
