Full Description
This exam evaluates the geological indicators that serve as evidence of historical earthquakes, such as fault scarps, liquefaction features, and paleoliquefaction.
Assessing these indicators is crucial for reconstructing earthquake catalogs that influence seismic hazard assessments and inform public policy regarding earthquake preparedness.
Examinees will be tested on their ability to articulate the significance of these geological features and their roles in understanding seismic activity history.
Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate knowledge of diverse geological formations and their implications in paleoseismic interpretations.
Sample Questions
- What role do fault scarps play in assessing the history of seismic activity?
- Can you explain how liquefaction features provide insights into past earthquake events?
