What is an isoseismal map?
Think about how we represent areas of similar experience during an earthquake.
Where is the epicentre usually found on an isoseismal map?
Recall what point experiences the highest shaking.
Where does the epicentre lie in relation to an isoseismal map?
Think about where the strongest shaking is recorded.
True or False: The intensity of shaking increases as you move away from the epicentre.
Consider how you feel when you are farther from an earthquake.
Given an isoseismal map of a recent earthquake, identify how you might validate the epicentre location based on the intensity distribution observed.
Consider how each contour level corresponds to increasing or decreasing distance.
Propose a method to enhance the accuracy of isoseismal maps in future earthquakes using technology.
Think about current technology advancements in data collection and processing.
