Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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?
