Two plates colliding each other
Two plates overlapping each other
Two plates covering each other
Two plates sliding past each other
2
This refers to the recording of seismic events.
Seismology
Seismometer
Seismogram
Seismograph
3
What can you infer if an earthquake has struck 2 towns, but only 1 had been greatly affected?
The town has active faults
The town is near the epicenter
The town has a poor urban planning
The town is prone to earthquakes
4
1. Landforms on the Earth’s crust were formed as a result of ______________.
Earth's rotation
Division of the lithosphere into plates
Movements of tectonic plates
Many bodies of water
5
Which tectonic plate boundary is associated with rugged mountain range, volcanoes, and island arcs?
Insurgent boundary
Divergent boundary
Convergent boundary
Transform boundary
6
What was one of the objections that critics had about Wegener’s continental drift theory?
Wegener could not provide any evidence to support continental drift.
Wegener’s fossil evidence was not accurate.
Wegener’s findings had no basis.
Wegener’s mechanism on the moving continents were physically impossible.
7
What is usually observed before a volcanic eruption?
Floods and tsunamis occur
Pyroclastic rocks are blown out
Seismic activity seems to increase in frequency
Ash particles and gases cause changes in the atmosphere
8
The ________ scale measures an earthquake’s intensity based on the observed effects on people and structures.
Magnitude
Modified Mercalli
Richter
Intensity
9
The seismic wave that moves the ground up and down is identified as:
Secondary waves
Primary waves
Rayleigh waves
Love waves
10
Mountain ranges are formed when ____________________.
magma from the Earth’s interior rises through a vent
a plate subducts in another plate
two plates move together
plates collide and fold under enormous pressure
11
Which stress pulls rocks/boundaries apart?
Tension
Compression
Elastic
Shear
12
The following are immediate results of the movement of plates, EXCEPT.
Earthquake
Volcanic eruption
Tsunami
Mountain range
13
The following are the causes of earthquakes, EXCEPT.
Tectonic plates colliding
Movement of the crust
Violent ocean currents
Violent ocean currents
14
Mariana Trench was formed through subduction. Hence, it is an example of a convergent plate boundary
False
True
15
What type of tectonic plate boundary is responsible for the formation of the Mariana Trench?
Convergent boundary
Divergent boundary
Transform boundary
Insurgent boundary
16
How many seismometer stations do you need to accurately locate the epicenter of an earthquake?
2, as I will graph the data that the otherstation has given.
1, because I just need the frequency to know its exact location.
The number of stations doesn't affect inlocating the epicenter
3, so I can measure the amplitude of the earthquake.
17
A news reporter said that the focus of the recent earthquake was at the surface of Davao City. Was the reporter right?
No, because the focus is beneath the epicenter.
Yes, because the reporter consulted a volcanologist before the news.
Yes, because epicenter is beneath the focus.
The correct answer was not provided.
18
Earthquakes can be predicted using the triangulation method.
True
False
19
Which of the following groups of landforms can be found near convergent boundaries?
Trenches, Rift valleys, Active volcanoes
Volcanic islands, Rift valleys, Mountain ranges
Trenches, Mountain ranges, Hot spot volcanoes
Trenches, Active volcanoes,Mountain ranges
20
What boundary is observed if two tectonic plates move away from each other, resulting in magma spewing?
Convergent boundary
Insurgent boundary
Transform boundary
Divergent boundary
