How far does a place slip during a strong earthquake

answer:300 miles

A magnitude-5.5 quake in the Eastern United States can usually be felt as far away as 300 miles (500 km), the service's website says. The nature of the crust under eastern North America determines how far an earthquake is felt, Presgrave said.Interestingly enough though, deep focus earthquakes can occur at depths of hundreds of miles and can be felt literally half a world away. The 2013 Okhotsk Sea Earthquake had it's epicenter off the coast Russia north of Japan at a depth of 609 km (380 miles), with strong shaking felt as far away as Moscow.

Explanation:

answer: semi-infinite solid initially at a uniform temperature of 400 ◦c is cooled at its surface by convection. the cooling fluid at a constant temperature of 200 ◦c has a convective coefficient (ha) of 250 w/m2.k. the physical properties of the solid: k = 20 w/m.k and α = 4 * 10-5  m2/s. using δx = 0.04 m and δt = 10 s. write the finite difference equations describing the transient heat transfer of the first five δx and the temperature profile after 30 s.
