- Q1
1. Converging plates cause the formation of trenches. These will become the source of earthquakes. An earthquake could occur at the bottom part of the ocean. What do you call the series of huge waves caused by an underwater earthquake?
Mountain ranges
Tsunami
Tidal Wave
Volcanic Eruption
45sS10ES –Ia-j-36.3 - Q2
The Philippine Plate and Eurasian Plate movetowards each other. The two plates collide. What type of plate boundary isformed when the Philippine plate and Eurasian plate collide?
Divergent boundary
Convergent boundary
Normal fault
Transform-fault
45sS10ES –Ia-j-36.3 - Q3
An earthquake is felt within Mandaluyong. If you were to investigate this, what basic information would you expect toacquire from a seismic station?
The frequency of the P wave and S wave are the same and both waves have the same speed.
The frequency of the P wave is higher than the S wave and there is a time difference between the two waves.
The time arrival of the P wave is the same as the arrival of the S wave.
The time arrival of the P wave and S wave tells the magnitude and intensity of the earthquake.

45sS10ES-Ia-j-36.1 - Q8
Which of the following statements CORRECTLY differentiate oceanic crust from continental crust?
The Continental crust has granitic rocks while the oceanic crust is made up of basaltic rocks
All of these.
Continental crust is thicker than oceanic crust.
Continental crust is older than oceanic crust
45sS10ES-Ia-j-36.1 - Q9
What is the primary cause of convection currents in the Earth's mantle?
Subsidence of the crust
Differences in densities of materials
Rotation of the Earth
Occurrence of earthquakes
45sS10ES –Ia-j-36.5 - Q10
Igneous rock along oceanic ridges is younger than the igneous rock farther from the ridges. What evidence supports this theory?
Oceanic ridges are areas of subsidence.
The ocean floor is spreading.
The ocean floor is stable.
Volcanoes one existed on both sides of the oceanic ridge
