- Q1
Which BEST defines tectonic plate?
It is free floating on the asthenosphere makes it capable of movement
Lithosphere is divided into pieces with different shapes, sizes, and density
These are huge slabs of rocks that are fixed on the specific position
The tectonic plate is a massive chunk of the outer solid layer of the earth.
120s - Q2
Plate boundaries are borders where two tectonic plates meet. At the boundary, plates could act convergently with one another, and if this happens, which of the following is most likely to happen?
The formation of mountains, trenches, and subduction zones may occur due to the densities of the plates. Powerful earthquakes might take place.
The subduction zone can be found along the convergent boundary. Heavy plates sink in this area.
Mountains will form in continental-oceanic convergence
Trenches will beformed in any convergent boundary
120s - Q3
What are the major plates in the lithosphere?
It is the plate squeezed in between two massive plates.
It has an area of less than 20,000,000 km2 like Nazca plate.
The plate in the lithosphere with a bigger lot area is a major plate.
It has more than 20,000,000 km2 area like Eurasian plate.
120s - Q4
Which differentiates oceanic from continental crust?
The oceanic crust is denser compared to continental crust
Oceanic crust is denser and thicker compared to continental crust
Oceanic and Continental crust are likely the same to one another
The striations of oceanic crust are brighter due to its major component, basalt
120s - Q5
What is the BEST way to locate the epicenter of the earthquake?
Triangulation Method
Tracing
Measuring of Intensity
Venn Diagram
120s - Q6
If you visit a place in the Pacific known to be in converging plates, which of these should you NOT expect to see?
Rift Valley
Active Volcano
Mountain Ranges
Volcanic Island
120s - Q7
Which wave carries energy from the focus to the surface of the earth?
Sound Wave
Electromagnetic Wave
Seismic Wave
Oceanic Wave
120s - Q8
How are P waves distinguished from S waves?
P waves can pass through solid.
P waves are slower and with higher frequency.
P waves shake from side to side and go up and down
P waves arrive first followed by S waves.
120s - Q9
How is the epicenter of an earthquake located?
By using the triangulation method.
By detecting the stronger ground shaking is stronger and more devastating destruction.
By using a seismograph that records seismic waves with high frequencies.
By identifying the arrival time of P waves.
120s - Q10
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
120s - Q11
What is seismic wave?
It is the wave generated by earthquake due to sudden movement of fault.
It is an earthquake wave that travels in the different layers of the earth.
It is generated by the earthquake.
It is the type of wave generated by the collision of rocks in the crust.
120s - Q12
What are the two general classification of seismic wave?
Pand S waves are the two types of seismic waves.
These are body wave and S wave.
Body waves and surface waves are classified based on their location
Surface wave is a type of seismic wave.
120s - Q13
What method is shown on the map?
Triangulation Technique
Circulation Method
Plotting of the data obtained from the three seismic stations
Triangulation Method to locate the epicenter
120s - Q14
What is the epicenter of the earthquake?
The intersection of the circles is in Cubao.
The intersection of the three measurements is in Cubao, thus it is the epicenter
The epicenter of the earthquake is in Cubao, Quezon City.
The epicenter must be in Marikina due to the presence of West Valley Fault
120s - Q15
What is the difference in the arrival time of Primary and secondary waves in the seismogram below?
The arrival time of the two waves is 40s, 10s subtracted from 50s.
The difference in arrival time is 38 sec.
The arrival time of S wave is 38s.
The 10s (P-wave) subtracted from 48s (S-Wave) results to the arrival time which is 38s
120s
