Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.0, calculate the expected intensity at a distance of 10 km using the empirical relationship I = 0.5M - 1.0 log(R) + 2.
💡 Hint: Break it down step by step; remember the log of 10 is 1.
Question 2
Discuss the impact of using a standardized constant in the intensity prediction formula versus adapting it to local geological conditions.
💡 Hint: Think about how local conditions differ from generalized assumptions in seismic studies.
