- Q1In 1909 a boundary between the mantle and crust was discovered in the difference in the arrival of P-wave and S-wave from 50 km distance below the earth’s surface. What do you call this boundary?ConvergentTransforma. GMoho30s
- Q2How did scientist prove that outer core is liquid and inner core is solid?S-wave do not travel in outer coreInner core is made of solid iron and nickelOuter core is made of melted iron and nickelP-wave can travel both in solid and liquid30s
- Q3What two metals make up the Earth’s core?Lead and platinumIron and nickelIron and silverGold and copper30s
- Q4What is the useful method for determining the structure of the earth’s interior?Studying the density of EarthThe generation of earth’s magnetic fieldArrival of P-wave and S-waveFall of meteorites to the surface of the earth30s
- Q5What do you call to the hot molten rock material that found inside the earth?PlasmaLavaMagmaMagnet30s
- Q6Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?The asthenosphere is partially moltenThe asthenosphere lies beneath the lithosphereThe asthenosphere rises close to the surface beneath mid-ocean ridgesThe asthenosphere is stronger than the lithosphere30s
- Q7Which of the following make up a lithosphere?Crust and upper mantleMantle and coreOuter and inner coreCrust and lower mantle30s
- Q8What word describes a deep crack in rocks often found near the edges of tectonic plates?EpicenterFault lineFocusCrust30s
- Q9Which of the following DOES NOT describe a P-wave?Forced the ground to move forward and backwardShakes the ground back and forth perpendicular to the direction of the waveCompressional waveFaster than S-wave30s
- Q10Which of the following sequences correctly lists the different arrivals from first to last?Surface waves, P-waves, S-wavesP-waves, S-waves, surface wavesS-waves, P-waves, Surface wavesP-waves, Surface waves, S-waves30s
- Q11How many seismograph stations are needed to find the location of the epicenter of an earthquake?315430s
- Q12What is the time interval between the arrival of P-waves and S-waves at a distance of 100 kilometers?8 seconds3 seconds1 second5 seconds30s
- Q13Using Triangulation method and the data gathered from 3 seismograph stations, how will you locate the epicenter of an earthquake on a map?The time difference on the arrival of S-wave and P-wave is the epicenterThe place where the 3 circles intersect is the earthquake epicenter.None of theseThe 3 circles are the locations of the epicenter.30s
- Q14Which of the following describes the epicenter of an earthquake?The location where the plate boundary rupture first happens.The location on the surface of the earth above where the plate boundary rupture happens.The place where there is the most damage.The opposite side of the earth to the earthquake.30s
- Q15Where is the focus with respect to the epicenter?Directly below the epicenterLocated at the middleSurrounds the fault lineDirectly above the epicenter30s
