Review Questions - True or False
1. Foreshocks are the larger earthquakes that occur shortly before the main
shock.
2. Volcanic seismicity and the seismicity in Dams are natural types of seismicity.
3. Frictional stress is the product of coefficient of friction and the earthquake
magnitude.
4. Pore pressure increases the effect of normal stress and allows sliding to take
place at lower shear stresses.
