Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Using your understanding of tectonic plates and boundaries, predict the potential seismic activity in a hypothetical area where an oceanic plate is subducting under a continental plate. What types of earthquakes and geological formations might this cause?

💡 Hint: Consider the characteristics of convergent boundaries.

Question 2

Analyze a scenario where two tectonic plates slide past each other in an urban setting. What engineering considerations should be prioritized in building design in this area?

💡 Hint: Think about what happens when plates don't just collide or drift apart.
