    1. Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift in 1915, which suggested that continents were once joined together before breaking apart and drifting to their current positions. 2. Earthquakes produce two types of surface waves called primary and secondary waves, with Rayleigh waves rolling along the ground like ocean waves that move the ground up and down and side to side. 3. Magnitude measures the energy released by an earthquake while intensity measures the strength of shaking felt in different areas, determined by observing earthquake effects; active faults may still generate quakes in the future despite no activity in the last 10,000 years.

    QUIZ

    Directions: Indicate whether


    each statement is TRUE or
    FALSE. Write T if the statement
    is True and F if False.
    1. Alfred Wedgenner (1915) proposed his
    theory of "continental drift" where
    continents broken through crust of ocean
    basins. Also known as
    “Puzzle-like fit of Continents”
    2. Earthquakes are also called
    TEMBLORS.
    3. Any sudden shaking of the ground caused by the
    passage of seismic waves through the rocks of the
    Earth is called Earthquake.
    4. The movement of the crust of the Earth resulting from the release of built
    up kinetic energy between two stuck tectonic plates is called earthquake.
    5. Pacific Ring of Fire refers to the region bordering the Pacific Ocean
    where active site of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
    6. Philippine Institute of Volcanoes and
    Seismology (PHILVOLCS)
    7. Fault refers to a fracture, fissure or a zone of strength where
    movement of displacement has occurred or will occur again.
    8. Focus is also called hypocenter where it is the point below the
    surface of Earth where the rocks break along a fault and energy is
    released.
    9. The two classifications of Surface waves
    are Primary Wave and Secondary Wave.
    10. A rayleigh wave rolls along the ground just like a wave
    rolls across a lake or an ocean. Because it rolls, it moves
    the ground up and down, and side-to-side in the same
    direction that the wave is moving.
    11. Seismographs are instruments that detect seismic waves
    while
    Seismometer records intensity, height and amplitude of
    seismic waves.
    12. Magnitude is related to energy released
    while Intensity measures how strong or weak
    the shaking is and it is determined by
    observing the effects of the earthquake in
    different places.
    13. Active fault do not show signs of generated earthquakes in the last 10,000
    years but may ‘possibly’ still generate an earthquake in the future.
    14. A tsunami is a sea wave caused by an underwater earthquake or
    landslide. It is usually triggered by an earthquake, and results in
    displacing the ocean water, throwing it ashore and into the land.
    15. Tsunamis may also be caused by underwater
    landslides or volcanic eruptions.
