C. The earth’s crust is unbroken even if there are compressions and tensions.
D. Tectonic plates do not move if rocks are stretched, compressed or crushed.

2.Which is correctly matched? *

A. strike-slip fault – the hanging wall moves upward.
B. normal fault – the hanging wall moves downward
C. reverse fault – walls move sideways not up or down
D. oblique-slip fault – walls move horizontally in opposite directions

3.Which of the following forces will happen when rocks are pulled away from each other? *

A. compression
B. parallel
C. shearing
D. tension

4.Which refers to the origin of the earthquake? *

A. epicenter
B. fault
C. fault plane
D. focus

5.Which statement best describes a fault plane? *

A. It is the location where the fault begins to slip.
B. It is the area where layers of rocks break into two.
C. It is the trace of the fault on the surface of the Earth.
D. It is the flat surface along which there is slip during an earthquake

6.Which is correct about focus and epicenter *

A. Epicenter is also called hypocenter or focus.
B. Epicenter is the point where the focus of the earthquake originates.
C. Epicenter is in the surface of the earth that is directly below the focus.
D. Epicenter is in the surface of the earth that is directly above the focus.

7.How do magnitude and intensity differ? *
A. Magnitude is determined by using Rossi-Forel Scale while intensity is measured by seismographs.
B. Magnitude uses Roman numerals (I, II, III), whereas intensity uses Hindu-Arabic numerals (2, 3, 4).
C. Magnitude is determined by observing the effects of the earthquake in people and places while intensity is calculated by the scientists based on earth’s released energy.
D. Magnitude is a quantitative measure of the energy released during the earthquake while intensity is a qualitative measure of the strength of the earthquake at a certain location
