- Q1
Which of the following statements does NOT describe the lithosphere?Which of the following statements does NOT describe the lithosphere?
Plates of the lithosphere are gradually moving.
The lithosphere is made of molten rocks.
The lithosphere is divided into slabs called plates.
The lithosphere is made of the crust and the upper mantle.
30s - Q2
Which does NOT describe tectonic plates?
The boundaries of tectonic plates are active.
The central part of tectonic plates is the most active.
Tectonic plates are slabs of the lithosphere.
Tectonic plates are slabs of the lithosphere that are gradually moving.
30s - Q3
The earth’s lithosphere is divided into huge slabs of solid rock called tectonic plates. Which of the tectonic plates listed below is NOT a major tectonic plate?
Antarctic Plate
Caribbean Plate
Eurasian Plate
African Plate
30s - Q4
Which of the given pairs is INCORRECTLY matched?
Somali plate: Caribbean plate
Antarctic plate: Cocos plate
Eurasian plate: Nazca plate
Pacific plate: Philippine Sea plate
30sS10ES –Ia-j-36.2 - Q5
How are P waves distinguished from S waves?
P waves can pass through solid.
P waves shake from side to side and go up and down
P waves are slower and with higher frequency.
P waves arrive first followed by S waves.
30s - Q6
How is the epicenter of an earthquake located?
By identifying the arrival time of P waves.
By using the triangulation method.
By using a seismograph that records seismic waves with high frequencies.
By detecting the stronger ground shaking is stronger and more devastating destruction.
30s - Q7
How do scientists determine the epicenter of an earthquake?
They determine the speed of seismic waves.
They assess the intensity of the earthquake.
They study the arrival of P and S waves.
They record the magnitude of the earthquake.
30s - Q8
Which explains the presence of volcanoes in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao?
The plate where the Philippine sits is colliding with the surrounding plates.
The volcanoes are forming because the Philippines is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire.
The Philippines is a hot spot.
Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao are gradually moving, forming volcanoes.
30s - Q9
Where are mountain belts most likely found?
along the convergent continental plate boundaries
along the convergent oceanic-continental plate boundaries
along the divergent plate boundaries
along the convergent oceanic-oceanic plate boundaries
30s - Q10
If you visit a place in the Pacific known to be in converging plates, which of these should you NOT expect to see?
Mountain ranges
Volcanic Island
Active volcanoes
Rift valleys
30s - Q11
The Philippines is surrounded by trenches—the Philippine Trench, Manila Trench, Negros Trench, Sulu Trench, and the Cotabato Trench. What does this indicate in terms of the movement of the plates?
The Philippines is surrounded by colliding continental crusts.
The divergence of crusts created under thrusting which resulted in the formation of trenches.
The constant dipping of the lithosphere induces earthquakes.
The convergence of the plates created subduction resulting in trench formation.
30s - Q12
Where are most of the active volcanoes found?
along the divergent plate boundaries
along the convergent oceanic-oceanic plate boundaries
along the convergent continental plate boundaries
along the convergent oceanic-continental plate boundaries
30s - Q13
Why do most earthquake epicenters exist along plate boundaries?
I. blocks of rock drop-down at the divergence of plates
II. asthenosphere moves due to convection current
III. rocks slip past each other in the boundaries
IV. subducting plates instantly slide
I, II, III, IV
I only
I and II only
I, III, IV only
30s - Q14
Which BEST describes the distribution of mountain ranges on the earth’s surface?
The location of mountain ranges is the basis of dividing the lithosphere.
Mountain ranges are mostly in the Himalayas.
Mountain ranges are found along tectonic plates.
Mountain ranges are found in places where volcanoes and earthquake epicenters are also found.
30s - Q15
Which BEST describes the divergent plate boundary?
The plates in the divergent boundary are moving away from each other.
The new crust is destroyed during diverging of plates because the magma is flowing out melting its materials.
The plates in divergent boundaries move towards each other.
The old crust is deformed resulting in the formation of mountains.
