Which of the following measures an earthquake’s intensity based on the observed effects on people and structures? A. Richter scale B. Modified Mercalli scale C. Centigrade scale D. The moment magnitude scale 4. Who developed the procedure used to measure the size of an earthquake? A. Art Smith B. Edward Sheridan C. James Hutton D. Charles Richter 5. How are you going to relate fault movement with earthquakes? A. Earthquake is an indication of fault movements. B. Fault movement has nothing to do with earthquake. C. Movement along fault always results to earthquakes. D. None of these 6. How movements along fault generate earthquake? A. If the rocks along fault cannot overcome the energy coming from the inner part of the earth, rocks will slip, and earthquakes are generated. B. If the frictional force that exist between rocks along fault reached its limit or holding capacity, rocks/ ground will snap and eventually causes an earthquake. C. Earthquakes are generated as long as frictional force holds stuck the rocks together. D. A and B only 7. Which of the following can be triggered by an earthquake? A. tsunami B. a landslide C. intense ground shaking D. all of these 8. Which of the following can trigger a tsunami? A. undersea earthquakes B. the eruption of an oceanic volcano C. undersea landslides D. all of these 9. Why not all movement along faults produces earthquakes? A. Earthquakes are not generated as long as frictional force keeps holding on the rocks. B. Earthquakes are not generated as long as rocks couldn’t able to overcome the energy coming from the inner part of the earth. C. Both A and B D. None of these 10.This fault can cause an earthquake if two plates slide/pass and move slowly. A. Normal Fault B. Reverse Fault C. Strike-Slip Fault D. None of these 11.Which of the following correctly describes an active fault? A. Faults that have NOT moved and not caused earthquakes in the past B.
