(choose chapter or problem)

If an earthquake has a total horizontal displacement of S meters along its fault line, then the horizontal movement M of a point on the surface of Earth d kilometers from the fault line can be estimated using the formulawhere D is the depth (in kilometers) below the surface of the focal point of the earthquake. Earthquake movement For the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, S was 4 meters and D was 3.5 kilometers. Approximate M for the stated values of d. (a) 1 kilometer (b) 4 kilometers (c) 10 kilometers
