3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define hypocentre in your own words.
Think about where an earthquake starts.
What is the epicentre?
It's what you see on a map representing the earthquake's surface effect.
What is the primary function of the hypocentre in earthquake evaluation?
Remember the wave path discussions.
True or False: The epicentre is located below the Earth's surface.
Think about the location of each term.
Given an earthquake occurs with a hypocentre depth of 25 km, predict its likely impact on buildings located 10 km from the epicentre.
Consider the effects of depth on wave energy and how it dissipates by the time it reaches the surface.
Evaluate how building codes might differ if an area's seismic activity showed a trend of shallower hypocentres compared to deeper ones.
Think about how earthquake risks increase with depth and proximity.
