    1.

    What is the term used to describe breaks in the Earth’s crust by which rocks move or slide past
    one another?
    a. Faults
    b. Earthquake
    c. Folds
    d. volcanos
    Answer: Faults

    Earthquakes usually occur along plate boundaries. Plate boundaries host a number of faults or breaks in
    the crust where rocks move and slide past one another.

    2. Which of the following trenches and faults is located in the eastern part of the Philippines?
    a. Negros Trench
    b. Sulu Trench
    c. Manila trench
    d. Philippine trench
    Answer: Philippine Trench
    The Philippines is comprised of trenches and faults which includes the East Luzon Trough and
    Philippine Trench in the east and Manila Trench, Negros Trench, Sulu Trench and Cotabato
    Trench in the west.
    3. Which of the following destructive earthquakes occurred in 1976, caused tsunami devastating
    700 km of coastline and killed thousands of individuals?
    a. Magnitude 7.0 Ragay Gulf Earthquake
    b. Magnitude 7.1 Panay Earthquake
    c. Magnitude 7.3 Aurora Earthquake
    d. Magnitude 7.9 Mindanao Earthquake
    Answer: magnitude 7.9 earthquake occurred in Mindanao
    A 7.9 magnitude earthquake hit Mindanao on August 17, 1976. It caused a tsunami which
    devastated 700 km of coastline in Moro Gulf and killed 1,440 individuals in Region IX and 3,351
    in Region XII.
    4. The earthquake had a rating of 6 that is described as “People are unable to stand up and forced
    to crawl to move around.” Which of the following measurements is used to describe the
    earthquake?
    a. Power scale
    b. Intensity scale
    c. Magnitude
    d. Force Scale
    Answers: Intensity scale
    Intensity is the measure of the degree of shaking experienced in an area. This shaking
    description is a combination of what the people felt and the damage observed in the structures.
    5. Which of the following plate boundaries could be an origin of an earthquake?
    Answers. Divergent, convergent, and transform
    a. Convergent
    b. Rebound
    c. Ransform
    d. Divergent
    All boundary types can create earthquakes if they move suddenly.
    6. Which of the following could be a good reason why Philippines experiences a lot of
    earthquakes?
    a. It is an archipelago
    b. It has a lot of mountain ranges
    c. It is surrounded by subduction zones
    d. It is along the pacific ring of fire
    Answers: it is surrounded by subductions zones, it is along the Pacific Ring of Fire
    The Philippines is comprised of subduction zones both in its eastern and western part. In
    addition there are also a number of active faults and trenches where a number of earthquakes
    occur. From the previous lesson, we have also found out that Philippines is located along the
    Pacific ring of Fire.
    7. Which of the following can be an effect of an earthquake? (All of the above)
    Answers: a tsunami occurs when an earthquake happens in the sea floor. Earthquakes can
    cause large rocks to come rolling down in the mountains. It can also cause large structures to
    collapse and cause large fissurs to appear.
    8. Which of the following best describes the situation below?
    Some people in the building felt the earthquake.
    a. Magnitude 1
    b. Magnitude 0
    c. Intensity 1
    d. Intensity 0
    Answer: intensity 1
    Intensity Scale 1 earthquakes are perceptible already to a few. Intensity 0 is imperceptible.
    Next Question
    9. The earthquake has a magnitude of 3.5. Which of the following descriptions will be appropriate
    to the movement felt by the ones affected?
    a. Bridges destroy
    b. Comparable to the vibrations of a moving truck
    c. Can only be detected by seismographs
    d. Building displaced from foundations
    Answer: Comparable to the vibrations of a moving truck.
    For the Richter Scale, a measurement of 3-3.9 is comparable to the vibrations of a passing truck.
    10. Which of the following magnitude scales will fit the situation below?
    The building collapsed.
    a. 8.8
    b. 5.8
    c. 3.9
    d. 1.3
    Answer: 8.8
    The picture is from the 2010 Chile Earthquake off the coast of central Chile having a magnitude
    of 8.8 on the moment magnitude scale.
