    MULTIPLE CHOICE - Direction: Read the following questions carefully and write the letter of
    the best answer in your answer sheet.
    1. It is a sudden movement of the earth’s crust caused by the release of stress
    accumulated along geologic faults or by volcanic activity?
    a. Earthquake b. typhoon c. tsunami
    2. __________ is the point on the surface of the earth directly above the focus.
    a. Fault b. epicenter c. focus
    3. It is a break in the Earth’s crust, and along the break, significant movement has taken
    place.
    a. Fault b. fault line c. epicenter
    4. An earthquake jolted 17 km northeast of Z city. During the interview by a local
    reporter, a resident described the disaster where vibration was felt like a passing of a
    heavy truck. In relation to the scenario, what was the intensity value of the quake?
    a. II b. IV c. VI
    5. Maria, a registered geologist, has been working at PHIVOLCS for 28 years. Just right
    after a strong quake measuring 7 on the Richter scale jolted X province, her team
    was then delegated by the department to give an official name for the earthquake.
    In what way did the team of Maria name the quake?
    a. They named the earthquake after the city/municipality that was closest to its
    focus.
    b. They named the earthquake after the city/municipality that was closest to its
    epicenter.
    c. They named the earthquake after the person that was closest to its focus.
    d. They named the earthquake after the person that was closest to its epicenter.
    6. It is a point inside the earth where the earthquake started.
    a. Fault b. epicenter c. focus
    7. Which of the following pictures shows the normal fault?

    a. b. c.
    8. During their earth science class, Juana and Enzo were tasked by their teacher to correctly
    describe the strength generated by most earthquakes. Which would be the statement to be
    set out by the most earthquakes?
    a. If two earthquakes of equal strength have the same epicenter, the one with the
    shallower focus causes less damage.
    b. If two earthquakes of equal strength have the same epicenter, the one with the deeper
    focus causes less damage.
    c. If two earthquakes of equal strength have the same epicenter, the one with the
    shallower focus causes less damage.
    d. If two earthquakes of equal strength have the different epicenters, the one with the
    shallower focuses less damage.
    9. What type of fault this picture represent?
    a. Normal fault
    b. Reverse fault
    c. Strike-slip fault
    10. These are known to have recently generation earthquakes within the last 10,000 years, and
    may still continue to generate earthquakes.
    a. Active fault b. fault c. inactive fault

    MATCHING TYPE – Match Column A with the correct answer in column B. Choose the letter of the
    best answer.

    COLUMN A COLUMN B
    (Magnitude/Intensity Value) (Damage/Effect)
    11. Magnitude 9.4 a. Felt by many people indoors especially in
    upper floors of buildings.
    12. Intensity III b. Can be destructive in areas up to about
    160 kilometers (100 miles) across in
    populated areas.
    13. Intensity X c. Standing motor cars may rock slightly and
    liquid in containers are slightly disturbed.
    14. Magnitude 6.8 d. Massive landslides and liquefaction, large
    scale subsidence and uplifting of land
    forms and many ground fissures are
    observed.
    15. Intensity IV e. Devastating in areas several thousand
    miles across.
    f. Can cause serious damage in areas several
    hundred miles across.

    TRUE OR FALSE – Write T is the statement is true and F if the statement is false, and then rewrite or
    rephrase to make it/them true.
    16. Seismic waves travel outward from the earthquake’s focus.
    17. Based on the Richter magnitude scale, magnitude 5.6 is a light earthquake.
    18. Intensity I may be bent, twisted or broken water and sewer pipes.
    19. Seismograph is the instrument used to record earthquakes.
    20. A magnitude-13 earthquake struck Antarctica in the late 19 th century.
