Figure 1. Map of an area of a recent quake with the seismograms of the earthquake as recorded at three seismic recording stations in the region. Note the time mark indicated on each seismogram. These recordings are lined up with respect to time but there is no time scale or travel-time curves available. Please answer the quiz questions based on the information given. Illustration C.G. DiLeonardo. 1. Which seismogram(s) has(have) the greatest S-P interval? a. VNQ b. NCA c. ANE d. ANE and VNQ e. NCA and VNQ 2. At which recording station did the P-wave arrive first? a. VNQ b. NCA c. ANE d. ANE and VNQ e. NCA and VNQ 3. At which recording station did the S-wave arrive first? a. VNQ b. NCA c. d. and e. NCA and VNQ 4. Which seismic recording station(s) is(are) the closest to the epicenter? a. VNQ b. NCA c. ANE d. ANE and VNQ e. NCA and VNQ 5. Which seismic recording station(s) is(are) the farthest from the epicenter? a. VNQ b. NCA c. ANE d. ANE and VNQ e. NCA and VNQ 6. What is the probable epicenter of the earthquake? A. B. C. D. E. 7.Which potential epicenter is farthest from the actual epicenter of the earthquake? A. B. C. D. 8. Seismic recording stations ANE and VNQ have identical seismometers. Given the amplitude of the seismograms and their distance from the epicenter, under which recording station would you expect to find surficial deposits? a. VNQ b. ANE c. Both ANE and VNQ would be sitting on top of surficial deposits. d. Neither ANE and VNQ would be sitting on top of surficial deposits. 9. The Regional Airport is sitting on top of solid granite bedrock while the Old Farm School sits on top of saturated river sediments of the Old Muddy River, which one will probably experience stronger ground motion and shaking? a. Regional Airport b. Old Farm School 10. The Regional Airport is sitting on top of solid granite bedrock while the Old Farm School sits on top of saturated river sediments of the Old Muddy River, which one will probably experience liquefaction? a. Regional Airport b. Old Farm School
