Directions: Read the questions carefully. Choose the letter of the correct answer. Write only the letter

of your answer.

1. If the bending of rocks is too much what would happen?

A. The rocks will break. C. The rocks will be flattened.

B. The rocks will continue to fold. D. The rocks will build up an energy.

2. Which of the following diagrams below shows a normal fault?

I. II. III.

A. I only C. III only

B. II only D. I and II

3. What type of fault is formed when the strong compressional forces push the rocks together and

moving the crust vertically apart?

A. normal fault C. right lateral strike slip fault

B. reverse fault D. left lateral strike slip fault

4. How do faults generate earthquakes?

A. when the blocks of rocks break

B. when the blocks of rocks are strongly hold by friction

C. when the blocks of rocks slightly overcome the holding force of friction which resulted to

sliding slowly of blocks of rocks

D. when the blocks of rocks can no longer hold the build-up of stress and overcome the friction

which caused the sudden shift in position of blocks of rocks

5. Which of the following DOES NOT contribute in the fault formation?

A. Fault is formed due to build-up of stress like shear force which causes the rocks to slide.

B. Fault is formed due to high friction along the sides of the rocks that hold the rocks together.

C. Fault is formed due to build-up of stress like compression which results to pushing of rocks in

opposite direction.

D. Fault is formed due to build-up of tensional force which further result to pulling apart of rocks

in opposite directions.​
