Question 4
Question
What are the two kinds of crust?
Answer
-
Continental Crust
-
Plated Crust

Oceanic Crust
-
Icelandic Crust
Question 5
Question
The entire lithosphere of the Earth is broken into numerous segments called plates
Answer
- True
- False
Question 6
Question
The plates move very slowly but constantly, and this movement is called tectonics.
Answer

Answer
-
P-wave
-
D-wave
-
S-wave
-
C-wave
-
L-wave
Question 8
Question
It uses distance information from three seismic stations
to locate the earthquake epicenter.
Answer
-
Triangulation Method
-
Pyramid Method
-
Quantum Method
Question 9
Question
What is the formula to compute for the distance of an earthquake's epicenter from each seismic stations?
Answer
-
d = Td/8 seconds x 100 km
-
d = Td x 100 %
Question 10

Answer
-
Divergent
-
Convergent
-
Transform Fault
-
Insurgent
Question 12

Answer
-
Hole
-
Trench
-
Triangle
Question 14
Question
The subduction of plate can cause earthquakes at varying depths.
Answer
- True
- False
Question 15
Question
Converging oceanic plates will cause formation of trenches, and these trenches will become sources of earthquakes.
Answer
- True
- False
Question 16
