Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Analyze the importance of earthquake preparedness based on the differences between magnitude and intensity. How would you design a building in a high-intensity area with lower magnitude expectations?
💡 Hint: Consider how the building would respond differently based on local conditions despite a lower expected magnitude.
Question 2
Using the example of the Nepal earthquake, discuss how an earthquake's depth may influence its reported intensity despite having a high magnitude.
💡 Hint: Think about how layers of earth might dampen seismic waves.
