2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does the variable 'I' represent in the formula I = aM + b - c log(R)?
Think about what we feel during an earthquake.
In the correlation formula, what does 'R' denote?
Consider how far you are from where the earthquake started.
What does the variable 'M' stand for in the correlation formula?
Recall how we quantify earthquakes' energy.
True or False: Intensity decreases as distance from the epicenter increases.
Think about how far you can feel shaking.
An earthquake of magnitude 8.0 occurs at a distance of 100 km. If the empirical constants are a=1.2, b=3, and c=0.4, calculate the expected intensity.
Make sure to calculate the logarithm correctly.
Describe how differing soil types might influence the empirical constants of the magnitude-intensity correlation in urban versus rural settings. Provide an example of each.
Think about how buildings might behave under different soil conditions.
