- Q3Which of the regions of the mantle has the lowest temperature, pressure and density?Upper MantleMiddle MantleLower MantleAsthenosphere30s
- Q4In which layer of the Earth is the temperature highest?mantlecrustouter coreinner core30s
- Q5Seismic waves are waves of energy that radiate in all directions from the focus. Which type of waves can only travel through the surface of the Earth?electromagnetic wavesbody wavessurface wavesmechanical waves60s
- Q6Scientists gained information about the internal structure of the Earth by studying how seismic waves travel through the Earth. Based from the figure above, which of the following statements is NOT correct?S waves are no longer detected after 103ο.P waves can travel through liquids and solids.S waves do not travel all throughout the Earth’s body.S waves can travel in solids and liquids.60s
- Q7Earthquakes produce different types of seismic waves. Each type moves through materials differently. Which of the following seismic waves reaches a detector first?Love wavePrimary wave (P-wave)Rayleigh waveSecondary wave (S-wave)60s
- Q8“There is a core within the core”. The outer core is separated in the inner core due to the difference in density and the state. Who discovered the boundaries between this layer?Andrija MohorovicicBeno GutenbergInge LehmannJohn William Strutt60s
- Q9Refer to the figure below. Which of the following types of seismic waves cause the most damage to structures during an earthquake?Rayleigh wavePrimary wave (P-wave)Secondary wave (S-wave)Love wave60s
- Q10Which is the most abundant element that can be found on the earth’s crust?AluminumSiliconIronOxygen60s
- Q11The inner core is a hot, dense ball with a radius of about 1,300 kilometers. What materials made up the inner core?magnesium and oxygeniron and nickeloxygen and hydrogenaluminum and silicon60s
- Q12The Earth is made of many different and distinct layers. The deeper layers are composed of heavier materials; they are hotter, denser and under much greater pressure than the outer layers. Which of the following is the correct order for the layers of Earth from coolest temperature to warmest temperature?inner core, mantle, outer core ,crustcrust, mantle, outer core , inner coreouter core, inner core, mantle, crustmantle, crust, outer core, inner core60s
- Q13Which layer of the Earth is responsible in creating Earth’s magnetism?inner coreouter coremantlecrust60s
- Q14The lithosphere is made up of crust and a part of the upper mantle. Based from the figure below, what layer facilitates the movement of the lithospheric plates?asthenospherecontinental crustsedimentary depositsoceanic crust60s
- Q15Which of the following evidences was NOT use by Wegener to support his idea of continental drift?the existence of convection currentsthe similarity of fossils on continental coastsmountain ranges on different continents line up when coastlines were matched upgeological match of rocks on opposing continental coastlines60s
