Now that you have made measurements of the gradual rate of motion that leads up to the earthquake, and the resulting motion during the earthquake, calculate how long it would take for the motion to accumulate that results in the same size earthquake. Show all work. Remember: Velocity = Displacement during earthquake/ time. %3D

Question
Data from these surveys recorded the location of a lighthouse on Farallon Island (FARB, on
the oceanic side of the fault), and the location of an observatory on Mount Diablo (DIAB, on
the continental side of the fault) relative to San Francisco (SBRN, right at the fault). Here
are the relative locations of these monuments at two different times:
Location relative to SBRN

1858
27408.74 m North
4863.43 m South
1883
27409.36 m North
4864.04 m South
Now that you have made measurements of the gradual rate of motion that leads
up to the earthquake, and the resulting motion during the earthquake, calculate
how long it would take for the motion to accumulate that results in the same size
earthquake. Show all work. Remember: Velocity = Displacement during
earthquake/ time.
