Answer to Question 1

Answer: It underestimates the amount of energy release, as earthquakes go on for a number of minutes.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: At different combinations of stress and strain rocks exhibit elastic, brittle, or plastic deformation. Increasing confining pressure increases rock strength and leads to plastic flow rather than brittle fracture. Increasing temperature decreases rock strength and enhances plastic flow.
