Interactive Quizzes
Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.
Question 1
Which wave travels faster than S-waves?
- P-waves
- Rayleigh Waves
- Love Waves
💡 Hint: Use the mnemonic 'P is for quick, S is in between, Rayleigh is last.'
Question 2
Attenuation in seismic waves refers to the:
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Think about how wave energy diminishes as it travels.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a geological formation with both hard and soft materials, predict how the presence of each will affect S-wave propagation and attenuation.
💡 Hint: Think about how density and elasticity impact wave behavior.
Question 2
How might engineers adjust building designs to accommodate high attenuation rates of S-waves in a specific area prone to earthquakes?
💡 Hint: Consider what adjustments would be necessary for areas with predicted high seismic activity.
