This is an excerpt from the NASA NEO website. “As is
often the case, the possibility of future Earth impacts for
some near-Earth objects cannot be entirely ruled out until
the uncertainties associated with their trajectories are
reduced as a result of either future position observations,
or in this case, heretofore unrecognized, pre-discovery
observations. When these additional observations were
used to update the orbit of 2004 MN4, the uncertainties
associated with this object’s future positions in space
were reduced to such an extent that none of the object’s
possible trajectories can impact the Earth (or Moon) in
2029.”

Read the following exert from a USGS report concerning a
recent earthquake and answer this question.
Special Report: The Hector Mine Earthquake, 10/16/1999
A M7.1 earthquake occurred at 2:46 a.m. local time on
10/16/1999.
The event was located in a remote, sparsely-populated part of
the Mojave Desert of California, approximately 47 miles east-
southeast of Barstow and 32 miles north of Joshua Tree (see
map next page). The initial magnitude estimate of 7.0 was
upgraded to 7.1 on October 18, 1999, based on in-depth
analysis of “teleseismic” data recorded worldwide.
The earthquake occurred on the Lavic Lake fault, one of a
series of north-northwest trending faults through the eastern
Mojave shear zone. Geologists from the U.S. Geological Survey
and Southern California Earthquake Center were able to fly
over the rupture (which is within the Twenty Nine Palms
Marine Base) on the afternoon of October 16 and documented
a 40-km long surface rupture. The aerial photos show an
apparent maximum offset of 3.8-4.7 meters. These preliminary
estimates for both fault length and slip are consistent with
expectations for a magnitude 7.0 earthquake, although the slip
is perhaps somewhat larger than average. The fault is one of a
series of closely spaced, northwest-trending, right-lateral
strike slip faults that traverse this portion of the Mojave
Desert. Together, these faults within what is termed the
Mojave Shear Zone serve to relieve a small portion of the
stresses that build up along the boundary between the Pacific
and North American tectonic plates.
An interesting aspect of the Hector Mine earthquake is that it
occurred only 7 years after the 1992 Landers and Joshua Tree
earthquakes, which occurred on similar faults within the
Mojave Shear Zone. This apparent clustering of earthquakes
may be purely coincidental, but scientists are conducting
research to see if this kind of earthquake behavior is typical of
this region. That is, perhaps many of the Mojave Shear Zone
faults produce earthquakes within a short time interval
(perhaps spanning several hundred or more years), followed by
several thousands of years of quiescence.

21. What evidence was used to identify the exact

location of the fault responsible for the earthquake?
22. Teleseismic data
23. Reported by local population
24. Surface rupture
25. Previous history of earthquakes
22. There was considerable offset caused by this

earthquake but little damage caused by this earthquake.
Why?
23. The earthquake epicenter was in a remote location.
24. The earthquake occurred early in the morning.
25. The earthquake had a shallow focus.
26. Stress was relieved along the Mojave Shear Zone.

23. What is the current hypothesis scientists are
investigating with regard to this fault system?
24. Earthquake magnitudes determined from fault-slip
and teleseismic observations are similar.
25. Strike-slip faults in the Mojave Shear Zone relieve
stress along the North American and Pacific plates.
26. Earthquakes in this region occur in clusters.
27. This is a region of quiescence.

Sumatra earthquake to answer this question.

24. How would you characterize the depth of the

Sumatra earthquake?
25. Shallow depth
26. Moderate depth
27. Deep
25. What is the tectonic reason this earthquake

occurred?
26. It is near a transform boundary.
27. It is near a subduction zone.
28. It is near a mid-ocean ridge.
26. What type of fault caused the canal damage shown in

the following photograph (photo courtesy USGS)?

1. Normal fault
2. Reverse fault
3. Strike-slip

Analyze the table below that shows USGS data for earthquake
zones in Alaska and use it to answer this question.

27. What is the trend when comparing slip rate to

recurrence interval?
28. The larger the slip rate the smaller the recurrence
interval
29. The larger the slip rate the larger the recurrence
interval
30. There is no obvious slip-rate, recurrence relationship
28. What is the trend when comparing slip rate to

estimated magnitude?
29. The larger the slip rate the smaller the estimated
magnitude.
30. The larger the slip rate the larger the estimated
magnitude.
31. There is no obvious slip-magnitude relationship.

Three seismograms for a single earthquake with an epicenter
in Columbia are shown below. The data are from stations that
were at very different distances from the epicenter. Arrows
denote arrival of P and S waves. Note: Vertical scales are not
all the same.

29. Place the seismograms in order based on their

distance from the epicenter, closest to farthest away.
30. A, B, C
31. B, C, A
32. C, B, A
33. A, C, B
30. Which seismic wave arrived between 11-12 on the

bottom seismogram (station ASCN)?
31. P-wave
32. S-wave
33. Surface wave
31. Suppose you were near the epicenter and felt the
Earth move as if you were in the ocean. What type of
seismic wave would you have experienced?
32. P-wave
33. S-wave
34. Surface wave
