- Q1
Hottest layer of the earth.
Crust
Mantle
Core
45s - Q2
Caused by sudden movement in tectonic/crustal plates in the solid layer of the Earth
Volcanic Earthquake
Tectonic Earthquake
Tsunami
Seismic waves
45s - Q3
It is the amount of energy released by an earthquake
Intensity
Richter Magnitude Scale
Seismic waves
Magnitude
45s - Q4
The seismic waves caused by earthquake (measuring more than 7 on Richter scale) travelling through seawater generate high sea waves and cause great loss of life and property.
Flash flood
Liquefaction
Tsunami
Fires
45s - Q5
Ground failure or loss of strength that causes otherwise solid soil to behave temporarily as a liquid due to ground shaking
Flash flood
Tsunami
Fires
Liquefaction
45s - Q6
Strong seismic waves can damage dams thereby causing severe flash floods. This can also happen as a result of blocking of water flow of rivers due to rocks and debris produced by severe tremors in the hill slopes facing the river valleys.
Fires
Flash flood
Tsunami
Liquefaction
45s - Q7
Severe injuries from collapsed buildings and infrastructure, falling debris, suffocation, and drowning due to tsunami and flash floods during an earthquake may cause death among people.
Loss of lives
Fires
Landslides
Damage to infrastructures
45s - Q8
The strong vibrations caused by severe earthquakes strongly shake the buildings and thus causing severe fires in houses, mines, and factories because of over turning of cooking gas, breaking of gas pipes,contact of live electric wires, churning of blast furnaces,displacement of other fire related and electric appliances.
Fires
Landslides
Loss of lives
Damage to infrastructures
45s - Q9
The measure of how strong an earthquake is felt in a specific place/physical damage
Intensity
Fault
Epicenter
Magnitude
45s - Q10
The gas component of Earth
Biosphere
Atmosphere
Lithosphere
Hydrosphere
