- Q1
Which does NOT describe the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is made of the crust and the upper mantle.
The lithosphere is made of molten rocks
The lithosphere is divided into slabs called plates.
Plates of the lithosphere are gradually moving.
45sS10ES –Ia-j-36.2 - Q2
Which of the given pairs is INCORRECTLY matched?
Antarctic plate: Cocos plate
Somali plate: Caribbean plate
Eurasian plate: Nazca plate
Pacific plate: Philippine Sea plate
45sS10ES –Ia-j-36.2 - Q3
Which type of crust is the thickest?
Cannot be determined
Both continental and oceanic
Continental
Oceanic
45sS10ES –Ia-j-36.2 - Q4
Which does NOT describe tectonic plates?
Tectonic plates are slabs of the lithosphere that are gradually moving.
The boundaries of tectonic plates are active.
The central part of tectonic plates is the most active.
Tectonic plates are slabs of the lithosphere.
45sS10ES –Ia-j-36.2 - Q5
What shows that the plates are moving?
Sudden shaking of the ground
Distribution of active volcanoes, mountain belts, and earthquake epicenters
Formation of thick and basaltic crust
Occurrences of natural hazards
45sS10ES –Ia-j-36.2 - Q6
Which natural hazard is a sudden and violent shaking of the ground, sometimes causing great destruction, because of movements within the earth’s crust or volcanic action?
Tsunami
Thunderstorm
Flooding
Earthquake
45sS10ES –Ia-j-36.2 - Q7
What is the BEST way to locate the epicenter of the earthquake?
Measurement of intensity
Venn diagram
Triangulation method
Tracing
45sS10ES –Ia-j-36.2 - Q8
Which of these is NOT true about the Philippine Islands?
Most are part of the Philippine Mobile Belt, except for Palawan, Mindoro, and Zamboanga.
Some are formed because of the convergence of the Philippine Sea Plate and the Pacific Plate.
Some originated geologically in an oceanic-oceanic convergence.
Some are products of the subduction process.
45sS10ES –Ia-j-36.2 - Q9
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 constant dipping of the lithosphere induces earthquakes.
The convergence of the plates created subduction resulting in trench formation.
The divergence of crusts created under thrusting which resulted in the formation of trenches.
45sS10ES –Ia-j-36.2 - Q10
Which wave carries energy from the focus to the surface of the earth?
Seismic waves
Electromagnetic waves
Sound waves
Ocean waves
45sS10ES –Ia-j-36.2 - Q11
Which of the statements BEST describes the time difference between S and P waves?
It is the delay in the time of arrival of the S waves.
It indicates the epicenter of the earthquake.
The smaller the difference, the farther the distance of the earthquake.
It indicates the distance of an earthquake in the seismograph.
45sS10ES –Ia-j-36.2 - Q12
The boundary Juan de Fuca Plate is compressing against the North American Plate resulting in the formation of volcanoes and mountain ranges. The Juan de Fuca and North American Plates have ________________ type of plate boundary.
Convergent
Divergent
Faulting
Transform
45sS10ES –Ia-j-36.2 - Q13
What are colliding when plateaus and mountain ranges are formed?
Cannot be determined
Ocean-ocean convergent plates
Continent- ocean convergent plates
Continent-continent plates
45sS10ES –Ia-j-36.2 - Q14
What causes the other plate to subduct beneath the other plate during convergence?
The overriding plate is heavier than the other plate.
The material of the other plate is denser than the other.
The plate that sinks beneath the other moved first than the other.
The plates have the same components, and the overriding is by chance.
45sS10ES –Ia-j-36.2 - Q15
The following shows the difference between convergent plate boundary and divergent plate boundary EXCEPT _______________________.
A divergent plate boundary forms a rift valley while a convergent boundary forms a trench.
Plates in a divergent boundary are drifted away while in a convergent boundary are moving towards each other.
A divergent plate boundary produces new crust while a convergent boundary destroys old crust.
A divergent plate boundary usually occurs in the seafloor while a convergent boundary occurs only on the continental crust.
