What is seismic tomography?
Think about what we can use seismic waves to visualize.
Why is the location of the hypocentre important?
Consider how knowing where something starts can help in many fields.
What is the main purpose of seismic tomography?
Think about what insights are gained from internal images.
True or False: Seismic waves travel faster through denser materials.
Consider how density affects wave propagation.
Using a simple 2D modeling software, simulate how variations in rock density would affect wave travel times for seismic tomography.
Focus on how different materials interact with wave propagation.
Consider a region with known seismic activity. Propose a study using seismic tomography to improve building codes in that area, outlining the steps you'd take.
Think about the entire process from data collection to analysis and application.
