Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
An earthquake occurs with a focus depth of 75 km. A nearby town experiences significant shaking, while another town 50 km away experiences mild effects. Discuss how depth of focus and distance influenced the observed intensity differences.
💡 Hint: Consider how the distance from the epicenter interacts with depth.
Question 2
Evaluate the effects of a 65 km depth earthquake on two different soil types: soft and hard rock. Predict the intensity variances and the potential damage each soil type may face.
💡 Hint: Think about how deep quakes interact with different soil types.
