- 5. The "iceberg analogy" for the isostatic equilibrium of the continental crust turns out to be quite the relative density of icebergs versus seawater is close to the relative density of continental crust versus mantle. Glacial ice is about 15% less dense than seawater; likewise continental crust is about 15% less dense than the mantle. This leads to a simple rule that we can call the 1-to-8 rule: for every 1 unit of extra elevation for an iceberg or a mountain belt, there need to be 8 units of total thickness. These iceberg examples illustrate the idea: an iceberg 3 meters above sea level is 24 meters thick an iceberg 1 meter above sea level is 8 meters thick an iceberg 2 meters above sea level is 16 meters thick 3m 2m water level 1m >7m 14m 21m For the following questions, apply the 1-to-8 rule, assuming continental crust in isostatic equilibrium. a.

Use the formula above to caleulate the energy released during this earthquake. Express the answer in scientific notation, to the nearest tenth. b. An earthquake of magnitude 3 may not be felt or noticed by most people. Calculate the energy, to the nearest tenth, that is released during an earthquake of this strength. ( c. Compared to a magnitude 3 carthquake, how many times greater was the energy that was released during the 1960 earthquake in Chile? d.
