- Q1
How will you relate the distribution of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters and mountain belts all over the world?
Volcanic activities caused for occurrence of earthquake and formation of mountain and mountain ranges.
The location of earthquake epicenters is an indication of the presence of active volcanoes.
Some volcanoes and mountain belts all over the world are situated onsame location.
Active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters and mountain belts are somewhat located almost on same areas.
30sS10ES-Ia-j-36.1 - Q2
What does the locations of the earthquake epicenters say about lithospheric plates?
The location of earthquake epicenters are most likely the edges of the tectonic plate boundaries.
The origin of the earthquake epicenters is always above the focus.
The origin of the earthquake epicenters is also the location of volcanoes.
Location of mountain ranges are often areas where earthquake epicenters are detected.
30sS10ES-Ia-j-36.1 - Q3
Refer to figure below. Which plate less likely experienced earthquake activity?
Pacific Plate
Philippines Plate
Antarctic Plate
South American Plate
30sS10ES-Ia-j-36.1 - Q4
Which of the following best describes the plate boundaries represented by the image below?
I. Divergence between plates A and B
II. Divergence between plates A and C
III. Convergence between plates B and C
IV. Transform between plates A and CV. Transform boundary between B and C
I, II, III
II, III, IV
I, IV, V
I, III, IV
30sS10ES –Ia-j-36.2 - Q5
Refer to figure below. Which of the following is a convergent boundary?
Philippine Plate and Eurasian
Caribbean Plate and Eurasian Plate
North American Plate and Cocos Plate
Arabian Plate and African Plate
30sS10ES –Ia-j-36.2 - Q6
What do you expect to find near a divergent boundary?
volcanic island arc, trench, mountain range
oceanic ridge, trench, rift valley
volcanic Island arc, trench, rift valley
rift valley, volcanoes, oceanic ridge
30sS10ES –Ia-j-36.3 - Q7
If you visit a place in the Pacific known to be along converging plates, which of these geologic features should you expect to see?
I. active volcanoes
II. oceanic ridge
III. rift valleys
IV. trench
V. volcanic islands
I, IV, V
I, II, V
II, III, IV
II, III only
30sS10ES –Ia-j-36.3 - Q8
Plate Y is an oceanic plate. When it converges with the continental Plate X, which of the following will most likely to happen? Refer to figure 4.
Part of Plate X will go up and turn into magma.
Plate X will subduct and become crust above Plate Y.
Plate Y will subduct, become new crust and turn into magma.
Part of Plate Y will subduct and turn into magma.
30sS10ES –Ia-j-36.3 - Q9
Which of the following statements best explain the cause of the movement of plates?
Subduction or the process in which the crust plunges back into the earth causes for plates to move.
Mantle is fluid that is why the solid lithosphere floats on it.
Earth’s lithosphere is divided into several plates that ride over the weak asthenosphere.
Heat is produced in the core that produces convection in the mantle causes the plate to move around.
30sS10ES –Ia-j-36.5 - Q10
Which of the statement/s best explain and illustrate the convection occurring in the mantle?
III only. Convection current and inward rotational movement form the chain of mountains under the oceans.
IV only. Convection current outward rotational mass movements cause the crustal plates to diverge.
II and IV. After heating, the alternate current direction causes the plates to converge, diverge and slide past another.
I and II. Convection causes upward and downward direction changes and influence sea floor to separate or spread.
30sS10ES –Ia-j-36.5 - Q11
What evidence do scientists use to support the Continental Drift Theory?
Rocks, fossils, human beings
Rocks, fossils, oceans
Rocks, fossils, climatic zones, mountain ranges
Rocks, water, ice caps
30sS10ES-Ia-j-36.1 - Q12
Which of the following evidence support tectonic plates movement?
Electromagnetic theory, geological deflection, Paleomagnetic theory
Seafloor spreading theory, magnetic reversal, Continental drift, convection
Continental drift theory, Sea Floor Spreading, convection, solar energy
Continental drift theory, magnetic reversal, convection, ocean waves
30sS10ES-Ia-j-36.1 - Q13
What is the example of wave with a long wavelength and low frequency?
Visible light
Ultraviolet
Radio waves
Gamma rays
30sS10FE-IIa-b-47 - Q14
Which of the following is the correct order of increasing wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet rays, infrared, microwave, radio wave, visible light.
Radio waves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet rays, microwave, gamma rays, X-rays.
Radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet rays, microwaves, X-rays, gamma rays, visible light.
Gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared, microwave, radio waves.
30sS10FE-IIa-b-47 - Q15
You are an electronics and instrument engineer in the military when someone asked you to explain why X-rays are not used for radar purposes, what will be your answer?
High frequency X-rays would penetrate targets instead of reflecting and coming back.
We cannot use it since it has high frequencies and short wavelengths.
X-rays are completely reflected by metal target aircrafts or ships that are visible to radar.
Other electromagnetic waves will interfere with X-rays as it hits the target.
