Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze a real seismogram and identify P-waves, S-waves, and surface waves. Discuss the significance of each wave in terms of potential structural impact.

💡 Hint: Look for the order and amplitude of waves in the seismogram.

Question 2

Given the amplitude of a recorded S-wave is significantly larger than a P-wave, discuss the implications it has on structural design in earthquake-prone regions.

💡 Hint: Consider how wave height correlates with damage.
