Which geological fault occurs when rock blocks move upward and downward because of compression?, Normal fault, Reverse fault, Strike-slip fault, Oblique fault, Which type of fault happens when rocks pull apart and one block moves downward?, Reverse fault, Normal fault, Strike-slip fault, Oblique fault, During a geological survey, students observe that the hanging wall moved upward relative to the footwall due to compression forces., Normal fault because tension caused downward movement, Reverse fault because compression caused upward movement, Oblique fault because movement is horizontal, Strike-slip because the plane is low-angled, Which feature is used to classify geological faults?, Color and shape of surrounding rocks, Temperature of the Earth's crust, Angle of the fault plane and direction of slip, Size and age of nearby mountains, What does the magnitude of an earthquake measure?, The strength or energy released by the earthquake, The damage to buildings, The number of people affected, The weather during the earthquake, Why do stronger earthquakes usually cause greater damage to communities?, They release more energy from the Earth, They produce less ground shaking, They occur only in deep oceans, They reduce ground vibrations, Which factor mainly determines the amount of damage caused by an earthquake?, Color of buildings in the community, Magnitude of the earthquake energy released, Number of animals in the area, Temperature of the surrounding air, Why might a small earthquake cause little damage in a community?, It moves the continents farther apart, It changes the Earth’s magnetic field, It releases less energy and shaking, It increases atmospheric pressure, Which situation shows how earthquake magnitude affects communities?, Larger magnitude produces weaker ground motion, Larger magnitude causes stronger shaking and damage, Smaller magnitude produces stronger shaking, Smaller magnitude destroys larger cities, Why are buildings sometimes destroyed during strong earthquakes?, Strong ground motion weakens building structures, Earthquakes cool the surrounding air quickly, Ground shaking changes the color of rocks, Buildings absorb energy from sunlight, What should people do during an earthquake to stay safe?, Run outside immediately to open spaces, Stand near glass windows and doors, Use elevators to exit buildings quickly, Drop, cover, and hold under strong furniture, Why is it important to follow local disaster readiness plans?, They stop tectonic plates from moving, They reduce the temperature of buildings, They increase the number of earthquakes, They guide people to respond safely during disasters, What should people do after an earthquake stops?, Immediately return to damaged buildings, Check for injuries and possible hazards, Ignore emergency announcements from authorities, Turn off communication devices, Why do communities conduct earthquake drills?, To practice safe actions during emergencies, To create stronger earthquakes in the area, To reduce sunlight reaching Earth, To measure air pressure changes, Which group usually prepares and announces disaster readiness plans?, Local farmers and business owners, Random visitors in the community, Local authorities and emergency organizations, Tourists visiting the area, How can an earthquake produce a tsunami?, By suddenly moving the ocean floor upward or downward, By increasing air pressure above the ocean, By heating ocean water rapidly, By changing the direction of winds, Where do most tsunami-producing earthquakes occur?, In deserts far from water sources, In deep ocean areas along tectonic plate boundaries, In mountain peaks above sea level, In polar regions covered by ice, When the seafloor suddenly moves upward or downward, it:, Creates small waves near shore, Stops the motion of tides, Changes the ocean temperature, Pushes a large volume of water, What usually happens when tsunami waves reach shallow coastal waters?, Waves increase in height and energy, Waves completely disappear instantly, Waves move slower and become smaller, Waves turn into strong winds, Which earthquake is most likely to generate a tsunami?, Small earthquake deep inside mountains, Earthquake occurring inside deserts, Strong underwater earthquake that displaces the seabed, Weak earthquake far inland, What is the purpose of a tsunami warning system?, To alert communities of possible tsunami waves, To prevent earthquakes from happening, To reduce ocean temperatures quickly, To increase rainfall in coastal areas, Which organization often issues tsunami warnings to the public?, Private travel companies and airlines, Government disaster monitoring agencies, Local restaurant and business owners, School sports organizations, Which device helps detect earthquakes that may cause tsunamis?, , , , , What is the main source of energy for Earth’s atmosphere?, Solar energy coming from the Sun, Heat produced by ocean animals, Energy released from mountains, Heat produced by human machines, Why is solar energy important to Earth’s climate?, It stops the movement of ocean currents, It prevents clouds from forming, It drives weather patterns and temperature changes, It reduces atmospheric pressure, Why do different parts of Earth receive different amounts of sunlight during the year?, Because the Moon blocks sunlight, Because Earth is tilted on its axis, Because the Sun changes its size, Because clouds move around Earth, Which layer of the atmosphere absorbs most of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation?, Mesosphere above clouds, Troposphere near the surface, Thermosphere at high altitudes, Ozone layer in the stratosphere, What is the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), Cold and dry area near the poles, Equatorial region where warm air rises and creates rain, Place where winds stop completely all year, Desert region that receives no sunlight, Why do monsoons occur in some regions, bringing heavy seasonal rains and strong winds?, Random wind patterns with no cause, The Earth’s tilt stops wind from blowing, Seasonal heating differences between land and sea, The Sun is blocked by clouds, What are the 2 types of movement of the Earth?, Rotation and Revulotion, Rotation and Revolution, Rotition and Rebolution, Rotaion and Revoultion.
