Which of the following best describes the process that leads to an earthquake according to the elastic rebound model?

Accumulated strain causes fault rupture, releasing energy.

Sudden cooling of rocks causes cracks to form, like in ice wedging.

Heavy rainfall increases pressure on faults.

Volcanic eruptions create seismic waves.

What is the main difference between Love waves and Rayleigh waves?

Love waves move particles side by side, while Rayleigh waves move particles in an elliptical motion.

Love waves are faster than P-waves, while Rayleigh waves are slower than P-waves.

Love waves travel through Earth's interior, while Rayleigh waves travel only on the surface of Earth.

Love waves cause less damage than Rayleigh waves.

Which of the following statements about surface waves are correct?

They travel along Earth's surface.

They are slower than body waves.

They cause more damage than body waves.

They can travel through Earth's interior.

What is a seismograph?

An instrument used to measure the movement of earthquakes.

A device that measures wind speed.

A tool for predicting weather patterns.

A machine that records ocean tides.

How does a seismograph's suspended weight help measure ground movement?

It remains still while the ground moves, allowing relative movement to be recorded.

It moves with the ground to show the intensity.

It vibrates to create a signal.

It uses a spring to absorb the ground's motion.

Why do the recorded wavelengths from Earth's movements need to be amplified?

To allow scientists to study them, as they are initially very small.

To make them easier to store digitally.

To prevent damage to the recording equipment.

To make them visible on the seismogram.

Which of the following are recommended actions to take during an earthquake if you are inside a building?

Panic and run outside immediately

Which of the following best describes the connection between plate tectonics and earthquakes?

Plate tectonics cause the movement of Earth's plates, which can lead to earthquakes.

Earthquakes cause plate tectonics to move.

Plate tectonics only affect volcanoes, not earthquakes.

Earthquakes and plate tectonics are unrelated.
