GRADE10 SCIENCE- EARTH'S INTERIOR

The Earth's crust is composed of plates that are constantly moving with each other.What principle suggests this statement

• continental drift theory

• earthquakes and volcanoes

• plate boundaries

• plate tectonics

When an earthquake occurs, many types of seismic waves are produced. Which wave will arrive first when the energy that caused the earthquake was released?

• love wave

• rayleigh wave

• p wave

• s wave

Which wave will be used to determine the possible distance of the epicenter of an earthquake from an earthquake station

• Love wave & P waves

• P wave & S wave

• Rayleigh wave & Love wave

• S wave & Rayleigh wave

Each seismic wave has its unique motion of travel.Which seismic wave travels in the Earth's interior up & down to the line of propagation of motion

• Love wave

• P wave

• Rayleigh wave

• S wave

A 7.2 magnitude of earthquake or the "Big One" is expected to hit Metro Manila. What land form will cause the said earthquake when it moves

• Bohol Fault

• Mt.Arayat

• Taal Volcano

• West Valley Fault ( Marikina)

Fault lines are large cracks on the Earth's surface.These are formed when two tectonic plates rub(move side by side) against each other.What plate boundary form fault lines?

• convergent boundary

• divergent boundary

• seismic boundary

• transform boundary

Which plate boundaries formed the Philippine archipelago

• Eurasian and Pacific plates

• Eurasian and Philippine plates

• Pacific and Philippine plates

• Pacific ,Philippine and Eurasian plates

Which plates will form a mid-oceanic ridge

• converging continental plates

• converging oceanic plates

• diverging continental plates

• diverging oceanic plates

There are areas on the Earth where plumes of magma rises from the outer core and seeps through the crust resulting to volcanic formation.What do you call these areas?

• tectonic plates

• crustal plates

• hot spots

• plate boundaries

The San Andreas Fault in California is formed by two large plates moving side to side at opposite direction.What plates form the plate boundary that is the San Andreas Fault

• Eurasian Plate & Pacific Plate

• Eurasian Plate & North American Plate

• North American Plate & Pacific Plate

• Pacific Plate & North American Plate
