Question 1

What do Intensity Prediction Equations (IPEs) estimate?

  • The magnitude of earthquakes
  • Expected intensity at a location
  • The epicenter of an earthquake

💡 Hint: Consider what aspect of earthquakes IPEs focus on.

Question 2

True or False: IPEs do not consider local soil conditions.

  • True
  • False

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A city experiences an earthquake where M = 7.0 at a distance of 50 km. Using a hypothetical IPE function, predict the intensity if the site is known to amplify shaking.

💡 Hint: Think about how amplification changes perception.

Question 2

Evaluate a hypothetical scenario where IPEs fail to predict intensity due to unexpected geological conditions. Discuss potential improvements to the models.

💡 Hint: What kind of local knowledge would assist in refining predictions?
