Risk and Earthquakes<\/strong><\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
1. What is the definition of risk, including its two components? What are the two main approaches to estimating probabilities of hazardous events? Apply the concept to auto insurance,<\/div>\r\n
earthquakes, floods, and other natural hazards.<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
2. What lessons can past earthquakes provide us for improving future success in surviving them?<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
3. What are the three approaches to risk analysis that we discussed in class? Apply them to a decision.<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
4. How do earthquakes transmit energy? How does this allow us to determine the epicenter? What scales are used to quantify earthquakes?<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
5. What is the relationship between plate tectonics and the location of earthquakes and volcanoes?<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
