Question 1

How is the remodeling of the University of California’s Memorial Stadium

related to plate tectonics?

The stadium is being built as a single unit so it can more easily absorb the
energy of an earthquake.

The stadium is being remodeled to redirect volcanic gases seeping up

through the ground.

The stadium is designed to resemble the landforms created along faults.

Correct!
The stadium sits atop the boundary of two tectonic plates and it is being
remodeled to survive an earthquake.

The remodeling is being done to repair damage caused by a recent

earthquake that occurred in the immediate vicinity of the stadium.

Question 2

Why would a major earthquake in the vicinity of Memorial Stadium be far

more devastating than the earthquake that struck 140 years ago?

An earthquake today would be much stronger than the earthquake 140

years ago.

Memorial Stadium is located next to a nuclear power plant.

 Memorial Stadium has the ability to seat as many as 60,000 people.

An earthquake today would last longer than the earthquake 140 years ago.

Correct!
The population near the stadium is considerably larger than it was at the
time of the last major earthquake.

Question 4

How are San Andreas Lake and the Crystal Springs Reservoir influenced
by the San Andreas Fault?

The water in the lakes appears red, resulting from the presence of
microorganisms that thrive along fault lines.
 The water in the lakes is highly acidic because carbon dioxide is leaking
into the water from a pocket of magma beneath the lakes.

They are large, round lakes that straddle the fault line.

Correct! They are long, narrow lakes stretched along the fault line.

The water in the lakes is very hot because of the closeness to the surface
of subterranean magma.
