Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
If a recent earthquake measured a Body-Wave Magnitude of 7.0, what implications does this have for building codes in the affected area considering the saturation limit?
💡 Hint: Remember the saturation point and its engineering implications.
Question 2
Discuss how understanding both Body-Wave Magnitude and intensity scales can improve disaster response strategies.
💡 Hint: Link back to how magnitude indicates energy and intensity tells about damage.
