What is the difference between 仮定 and 想定?

4 I see a lot of different explanations online but I'm not sure if I understand the nuances correctly From what I can gather: 仮定 is used when a situation is unclear and an assumption is made based on facts and logic 想定 is used when imagining a possible situation and assuming it happened Considering this, I have trouble telling the difference between these sentences for example: 今,大地震が起きたと 仮定 したらまずどうしますか 今,大地震が起きたと 想定 したらまずどうしますか I would like a more detailed explanation and if possible, some examples that show where one would be used and not the other. meaning word-choice words usage share | improve this question asked 2 hours ago
