3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does the term 'aseismic creep' refer to?
Think about how stress can build up and release slowly.
Is the elastic rebound theory applicable to all earthquakes?
Remember what we learned about different types of fault behavior.
What is a key limitation of the elastic rebound theory?
Think about how stress can be released quietly, rather than suddenly.
True or False: Complex geology can make earthquake prediction easier.
Consider how multiple factors can interfere with accurate predictions.
Propose a model for understanding the stress distribution around a fault in a complex geological setting. What alternative factors must you consider?
Think about how multiple variables can interact with stress accumulation.
Analyze a recent earthquake case study where elastic rebound theory did not predict the event accurately. Discuss the alternative explanations for this failure.
Research the context of the earthquake and look for societal impacts related to prediction failures.
