Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A seismic event has been recorded with a magnitude of 6.5 at a distance of 50 km. Apply the formula I = 2M - 1log(R) + 4 and determine the intensity.

💡 Hint: Break down the components step by step.

Question 2

How would altering the constant 'a' to a larger number impact the predicted intensity of earthquakes in a highly urbanized area?

💡 Hint: Think about urban sensitivity to shaking.
