It is a sudden and violent shaking of the ground caused by the movement of the tectonic plates beneath the earth., Earthquake, Fault, Tsunami, Volcanic Eruption, It is a fracture in the Earth's crust through which movement has occurred., Earthquake, Fault, Hanging wall, Foot wall, Scientists discovered the presence of fault. After reviewing the records of occurrences of earthquakes, they found out that the fault has not experienced any geologic activity in the last 10,000 years. What type of fault is this?, Active fault, Inactive fault, Reverse fault, Normal fault, Which scale estimates the total energy released by an earthquake? , Seismogram, Seismograph, Richter Magnitude Scale, PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale, In a __________, the movement is horizontal and parallel to the strike of the fault., dip-slip fault, strike-slip fault, normal fault, oblique-slip fault, Which of the following should you NOT do after an earthquake occurs when you are inside a building?, Check other people for injuries., Use a telephone to call someone., Control small fires from spreading., Stay away from damaged electrical lines., Which of the figures shows a reverse dip-slip fault?, , , , , An intensity IV earthquake is considered __________., moderately strong, strong, very strong, weak, Which of the following is NOT a primary earthquake hazard?, Ground shaking, Liquefaction, Nuclear disaster, Tsunami, You were strolling at the park when an earthquake occurred. The strong force of the earthquake caused you to lose your balance. Some of the old houses in your surroundings were slightly damage. Based on what you have experienced, what is the intensity of the earthquake in the PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale?, Intensity I, Intensity III, Intensity V, Intensity VIII, Where is the epicenter in the illustration? , 1, 2, 3, 2 and 3, What point on Earth's surface is directly above the focus?, Epicenter, Fault, Focus, Magnitude, What is focus?, Center of the earth, End of the seismic waves, Surface of the earth where the waves starts, Location where an earthquake's waves begin, Which of the following describes an active fault?, No earthquake occurs, No record of earthquakes, Expected to generate earthquake, Generates earthquake once in a million of years, Which point is closest to the epicenter? , Point A, Point B, Point A and B, Point B and C, Which of the following is a potential effect of an earthquake on a community?, Increased rainfall and flooding, Growth of vegetation, Displacement of tectonic plates, Damage to building, infrastructure, and loss of life, What is referred to as a measure of the amount of energy released in an earthquake?, Intensity, Magnitude, Stress, Tension, Which of the following statements refers to the magnitude scale?, It measures the effect of an earthquake on a given area., It is a negative impact of the earthquake on surrounding areas., It is the devastation caused by an earthquake varies with location, It is the quantified value of seismic energy produced during an earthquake., What is the description of a 5.0 - 5.9 magnitude in a Richter scale?, Light, Major, Moderate, Strong, In which of these places will an intense earthquake likely happen?, Near a mountain, Along active fault, Near coastal area, Along inactive fault, What is the main cause of seismic waves?, Earthquake, Thunder, Traffic, Volcano, What type of wave is P wave?, Electromagnetic, Longitudinal, Transverse, Ultarsonic, Why is there an abrupt change in the speed of seismic waves as they travel inside the Earth? It is because seismic waves are __________., colliding, overtaking the compressional waves, passing through a material with the same density, going into a material with different properties and densities, Which of the following travels the fastest and is detected first in the seismic station?, Love wave, Surface wave, Primary wave, Secondary wave, Which kind of waves does NOT travel through a liquid?, Love, Primary, Secondary, Surface, What is the most destructive seismic wave?, Primary, Secondary, Rayleigh, Surface, Which of the following is the focus?, 1, 2, 3, 4, Which of the following is the seismic wave?, 1, 2, 3, 4, Which of the following is the epicenter?, 1, 2, 3, 4, Which of the following is the fault?, 1, 2, 3, 4.
