Divergent
Transform
3
Which concept belongs to the right picture?
Divergent movement
Transform movement
Convergent movement
4
Why is it dangerous when a nuclear power station explodes?
There is no need to panic!
Radiation is released that is harmful to our health.
Because of the tidal wave
5
Write down an economic effect of a typhoon.
Much damage to their income
Damage to buildings and people have work to earn money
Much damage to buildings and people have no work and income
Much damage to buildings, housing and work environment
6

One plate is heavier than the other plate
One plate is thinner than the other plate
One plate is lighter than the other plate
7

Epicentre
8
Occurs when an oceanic plate moves under a continental plate
Subduction

Hazard management consists of three types of measures. Which types?
-warning systems -demolations techniques -disaster plans
-warning signs -construction signs -disaster signs
-warning plans -construction plans -disaster plans
-warning systems -construction techniques -disaster plans
10
Why do yo hardly notice a tsunami when you are on a ship?
At sea their is no wave
At sea, the wave is very turbulent
At sea, the wave is very long but not very high.
At sea, the wave is very high.
11
Look at the figure next to the question.
C. In deep water the waves can reach speeds of 800km/hr.
B. The earthquake causes a wave that is 200 km long.
A. Earthquake in the sea
D. In shallow water the waves slowdown and makes them higher
12
Why do typhoons become less powerfull above land?
There is no warm sea water and there are houses and trees
Due to the sea water in the sky
Due the location of the typhoons
There is no reason for the hurricane to slow down
13
What do we call the point on the figure that is marked with a star?
hypocentre
epicentre
seismograph
eye of hurricane
14
What does the red cross mean?
Clouds
Where air rises
The eye of the hurricane
Where heavy rainshowers develop
15
What are plates?
Piece of a Pie's crust
Piece of the Earth's crust
Piece of a Earthquake
Piece of a subduction

Correct
Incorrect
18
What three movements can the plates make?
move apart, move towards each other, slide past each other
move against, move apart each other, slide past each other
move together, move towards other, slide past each other
move apart, move towards each other, slide agianst other
19
Which statements are incorrect?
The cause of exogenic forces are weather and vegetation.
Exogenic forces changes the Earth's crust from the inside.
Endogenic forces changes the Earth's crust the inside.
Magma is hot liquid rock inside the Earth.
20
Indicate which statement is correct.
A volcanic eruption is easier to predict than an earthquake
In America, a hurricane is called a cyclone.
Rich countries don't develop policies for hazard management
A hurricane forms above warm seawater of at least 30˚C.
21
How were the plates of the Earth's crust formed?
Endogenic forces caused trenches in the Earth's crust
Exogenic forces caused movements in the Earth's crust
Endogenic forces caused faults in the Earth's crust
Exogenic forces caused faults in the Earth's crust
22
