- Q1
Which of the following intensity scale is the most widely used?
Body Wave Magnitude Scale
Richter Scale
Moment Magnitude Scale
Modified Mercalli Scale
30sS8ES-IIa-15 - Q2
Which of the following statements does NOT explain the difference between magnitude and intensity of an earthquake?
Magnitude is expressed using Roman Numerals while intensity is expressed using Hindu-Arabic numerals.
Magnitude measures the energy released while intensity measures theseverity of shaking.
Magnitude is written in Hindu-Arabic numerals while intensity is measured in Roman Numerals.
Magnitude measures size or strengths of an earthquake while intensity documents an earthquake’s damage.

P- waves create shadow zone
S-waves are refracted
S- waves penetrate the molten mantle
P-waves are refracted

Modified Mercalli Scale
Principle of Superposition
Elastic Rebound Theory
Travel Time Difference

How do scientists find out if a fault is either active or inactive?
Scientists gather information from fossils and other ancient rocks.
Scientists use meteorological observation and astronomical data.
Scientists check the country’s historical records about destructive events such as typhoons.
Scientists are studying the vibrations, past, and present that comes from faults.
30sS8ES-IIa-15 - Q14
A reverse fault is called __________ if the dip of the fault plane is small.
