Try these first

1. 1.

   What does GNSS stand for?

   Hint

   It's a network of satellites.

2. 2.

   Why is GNSS important in seismology?

   Hint

   Think about earthquakes!

3. 3.

   What does GNSS allow scientists to measure?

   • A. Time
   • B. Temperature
   • C. Tectonic Movements

   Hint

   Remember what GNSS stands for.

4. 4.

   True or False: Seismic hazard maps help in predicting earthquakes.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the purpose of hazard maps.

5. 5.

   Imagine you are a geologist using GNSS data to assess an earthquake-prone region. Describe how you would use the data to inform public safety and infrastructure development.

   Hint

   Consider integrating different approaches.

6. 6.

   Given a GNSS observation that shows a fault line shifted two centimeters after an earthquake, explain what potential implications this might have for that area's seismic hazard assessment.

   Hint

   Think about how movement correlates with risk assessments.
