For Vp=5 km/s and Vs=3.5km/s, Analyse the time history of an earthquake as given in figure 2 to find: a. The epicentral distance in km.b. The size of earthquake in local magnitude ML.c. The origin time of the earthquake.
A magnitude 4.9 earthquake struck Quezon province early Tuesday morning, December 22, 2020, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology reported. Phivolcs says the tectonic earthquake's epicenter was about 20 kilometers northwest of General Nakar town in Quezon, with a depth of 15 kilometers (shallow earthquake), which occurred at 2:14 a.m. If a seismograph station is suitated exaclty 100km from the epicenter (that gives you a 0.9 degrees angular epicentral distance), determine a.) the peak amplitude recorded in the seismogram if Richter magnitude scale was used. b.) the peak surface wave amplitude recorded in the seismogram if surface wave magnitude scale was used
Alaska earthquake of 1964, earthquake that occurred in south-central Alaska on March 27, 1964, with a moment magnitude of 9.2. It released at least twice as much energy as the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. The death toll was only 131 because of the low density of the state's population, but property damage was high. The earthquake tilted an area of at least 46,442 square miles (120,000 square km). Landmasses were thrust up locally as high as 82 feet (25 metres) to the east of a line extending northeastward from Kodiak Island through the western part of Prince William Sound. To the west, land sank as much as 8 feet (2.5 metres). The seismic moment of this earthquake is x 1029 dyne-cm. Express your answer with 2 decimal places. Blank 1 Blank 1 Add your answer
A regular wave has the following properties in 50m depth water: wave height: 3.5 m; wave period: 11 sec; wave angle: 30 degrees. Using linear wave theory, estimate the wave height in 6m depth, assuming straight and parallel depth contours.

Explain Snell’s law with respect to seismic waves. For figure 3. Find out θ2, θ3, θ4 and θ5, for the given velocity model.
what is this A surface wave means vertically oscillating. It is defined as rocks fracture along cracks A body wave which means transmitting energy via push pull motion.

For an earthquake of magnitude M=7.0 and depth 25 km, calculate the peak ground acceleration at a site 50 km from the epicentre using the attenuation relationships for Europe, Japan, and western North America (randomly- oriented horizontal components). The fault mechanism is normal and the seismic waves travel through a thick layer of rock (v=780 m/sec). Compare the results with the prediction of the world-wide attenuation relationship. Plot the curve of the above attenuation relationships for M=7 and comment on the plots.
