Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.5 that occurs 50 km away from a measurement point. Using hypothetical constants a = 1, b = 0.5, and c = 2, compute the expected intensity.
💡 Hint: Recall the relationships between magnitude and intensity.
Question 2
Reflect on a recent earthquake event in your area. How did the magnitude reported compare with the observed intensity effects? Discuss the implications for local structures.
💡 Hint: Think critically about building codes and local conditions.
