Fun Earthquake Quiz

[David]

Here's a fun earthquake quiz from Florida International University:

www.uh.edu/~jbutler/physical/chap18mult.html

47 questions in all, each one a "shear" unadulterated joy!

Click the correct radial button, & your score will be generated at the end of the quiz.

No. 8 confused me greatly because I assumed that, the further you get from the quake origin, the greater the distance between P & S waves grows (because P waves travel faster).

No. 26 is slightly confusing too. Doesn't the up/down first motion depend on where you are with respect to the fault zone? Couldn't the diagram in 26 also be a reverse fault?

But most of the quiz is fun!
