Show hintHide hint
Consider major figures in seismology.
3Question 3.
Who proposed the Elastic Rebound Theory?
- Reid

Consider important figures in the history of seismology.
4Question 4.
True or False: The Elastic Rebound Theory states that energy is lost during an earthquake.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about energy transformation during an earthquake.
Question 5.
Analyze a scenario where a fault line experiences low-frequency tremors over years without a major earthquake. Using the Elastic Rebound Theory, how would you predict when an earthquake may occur?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how accumulated stress manifests over time.
Question 6.
Devise an engineering proposal for a building in a seismic zone, applying the Elastic Rebound Theory principles. What specific features would your design include?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how structures can be engineered to withstand seismic forces.
