Which of the following statements explains how a fault is formed?
What type of fault is illustrated in the image below?

Which of the following causes the folding and thickening of the earth's crust?
Which of the following statements best describe the effects of bending of rocks in a fault?
In general, the shallow-focus earthquakes cause mass destruction than deep-focus earthquakes because the seismic waves travel at a shorter distance from the focus to the surface. Which of the following is not true of the focus of an earthquake?
Which of the following is a difference between a focus and epicenter?
What intensity of the earthquake based on the PHIVOLCS intensity scale is slightly felt?
More than 1,000 are killed when a 7.7-magnitude and a maximum Mercalli intensity of IX strikes Luzon Island in the Philippines on this day in 1990. The massive tremor wreaked havoc across a sizeable portion of Luzon, the country's largest island with Baguio City suffering the most effects. The epicenter of the quake, which struck at 4:26 pm., was North of Manila in the Nueva Ecija province. Reports indicate that the shaking went on for nearly a full minute. Collapsing buildings were the main cause of damage and death. Getting out of a multi-story building was a good safety precaution that afternoon, although many people were injured and a few even died in stampedes of others doing the same thing.

Which corresponds to the measurement of the maximum motion recorded by a seismograph?
___________is a fault that has NOT moved over the last 10,000 years
Why do seismic waves bend through the Earth’s layers?
What can you infer about the S-waves on this diagram?

Which of the following diagram shows how the P-waves travel?
Which statement is TRUE about s- waves?
What evidence helps scientists best to understand the composition of the Earth's internal structure?
Which BEST describes a typhoon?
Arrange the following in a correct sequence how a tropical cyclone forms.
I. The winds rotate, or spin, around a center called an eye.
II. The warm wind collects moisture and rise, while colder air moves in below.
III. Warm and cold winds collide and create pressure, which causes the winds to move very quickly.
IV. Winds blow into areas of the ocean where the water is warm.
Which wind speed describes a tropical storm?
What do we expect when a typhoon comes?
 What part of the typhoon has the calmest condition?
The air pressure and wind speed on the eye of the tropical cyclone is lesser. So, in part of the eyewall, it is __________.
In what way do landmasses and bodies of water affect typhoons?
Why do typhoons weaken when they landfall?
Study the track of Typhoon Ursula below.
What part of the Philippines is most affected by Typhoon Ursula?

Study the track of Typhoon Ursula below.
When did Typhoon Ursula leave the PAR (Philippine Area of Responsibility)

Why are Public Storm Warning Signals in a certain place change from time to time?
Which of the following is the distinct feature of comet?
If you observed the night sky, how will you differentiate a meteor from a comet?
What is most likely to happen to a meteor when it passes through the earth’s atmosphere?
This is a crater caused by the meteorite that survived the earth’s atmosphere. What can you infer from this picture?
