- Q1
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?
African Plate
Eurasian Plate
Caribbean Plate
Antarctic Plate
15s - Q2
In what tectonic plate are most of the islands in the Philippines found?
African Plate
Philippine Sea Plate
Philippine Mobile Plate
Eurasian Plate
15s - Q3
The crust is composed of the most common igneous rocks, basalt and granite. Basalt is dark and dense while granite is light and less dense. What type of rock makes up most of the oceanic crust?
Shale
Granite
Basalt
Limestone
15s - Q4
What type of rock makes up most of the continental crust?
Basalt
Limestone
Shale
Granite
15s - Q5
Which statement does NOT correctly describe the tectonic plates?
The lithospheric plates are composed of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle.
The lithospheric plates are in constant motion.
Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes do not occur at their margins.
Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes frequently occur at their margins.
15s - Q6
What is Plate Tectonics Theory?
It states that the plates are moving due to the energy from the mantle.
It explains the similarities of countries in terms of rock components.
It states that the lithosphere is composed of a crust and an upper mantle.
It states that the lithosphere is divided into slabs called plates which float and gradually move.
15s - Q7
How do scientists determine the epicenter of an earthquake?
They record the magnitude of the earthquake.
They assess the intensity of the earthquake.
They determine the speed of seismic waves.
They study the arrival of P and S waves.
15s - Q8
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 and II only
I, II, III, IV
I, III, IV only
I only
15s - Q9
Where are mountain belts most likely found?
along the convergent continental plate boundaries
along the divergent plate boundaries
along the convergent oceanic-oceanic plate boundaries
along the convergent oceanic-continental plate boundaries
15s - Q10
Where are most of the active volcanoes found?
along the convergent oceanic-oceanic plate boundaries
along the divergent plate boundaries
along the convergent oceanic-continental plate boundaries
along the convergent continental plate boundaries
15s - Q11
What do earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountains have in common?
They result from plate movement.
They are measured using seismographs.
They occur suddenly.
They cause major hazards.
15s - Q12
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 found in places where volcanoes and earthquake epicenters are also found.
Mountain ranges are found along tectonic plates.
Mountain ranges are mostly in the Himalayas.
15s - Q13
Which explains the presence of volcanoes in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao?
The volcanoes are forming because the Philippines is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire.
The plate where the Philippine sits is colliding with the surrounding plates.
The Philippines is a hot spot.
Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao are gradually moving, forming volcanoes.
15s - Q14
Where do most shallow earthquakes originate?
In between the interacting plates
At the edge of the plate
At the middle of the plate
Near the trenches
15s - Q15
What is the BEST thing to do to prepare for the occurrence of natural hazards like earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions?
Be prepared for aftershocks.
Put your plan into action.
When hazard strikes, don’t panic. Stay calm.
Develop an evacuation and communication plan.
