Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given an isoseismal map for a region after a magnitude 6 earthquake, analyze how different soil types could lead to varying intensities in different sectors of the map.

💡 Hint: Consider examples from past earthquakes.

Question 2

Create a scenario where two cities experience the same earthquake but report different intensity levels based on isoseismal mapping. Explain the factors contributing to the differences.

💡 Hint: Use real earthquake patterns to build your scenario.
