EARTHQUAKES AND FAULTS

In the diagram, letter "A" is labeling the _____

• Hanging Wall
• Foot Wall
• Gallery Wall
• Accent Wall

A type of fault where rocks on either side move past each other sideways is called:

• normal fault
• reverse fault
• strike-slip fault

The three types of stress that leads to faults include:

• tension, compression, and normal stress

• tension, compression, and shearing stress

• deformation, tension, and shearing stress

What is the shaking of the Earth’s crust caused by a release of energy?

• Earthquake
• Epicenter
• Fault
• Plate

Energy from inside the Earth makes the ground move. Which of the following is the reason why there is no movement right away?

• Friction causes the delay on the movement of the ground.

• There is no movement right away because of the vibration of the rocks.

• There is no movement right away because of the bending of the rocks.

• The rapid release of energy causes the delay of the movement of the ground.

Earthquakes are common occurrence in Japan, Indonesia, and Philippines. Why is this so?

• Japan, Indonesia and Philippines are surrounded by seas.

• Japan, Indonesia and Philippines are located near the equator.

• Japan, Indonesia and Philippines are considered archipelagic countries.

• Japan, Indonesia and Philippines are found within the Pacific Ring of fire.

What Philippine Agency is concerned in monitoring fault movement?

• Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE)

• Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)

• Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHILVOCS)

• Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA)

Which of the following describes a fault?

• An energy released from the inside of the Earth.

• A movement in the Earth’s crust.

• A break in the Earth’s crust.

• A rock layer.

How do faults produce earthquakes?

• Energy from inside the Earth makes the ground move, once friction is overcome, a fault slips producing an earthquake.

• Rock materials from underneath go out along faults produces earthquakes

• Magma spreads beneath the rock layers producing faults.

• Tectonic plates collide producing earthquakes.

Which of the following types of faults is shown in the picture?

• strike-slip fault

• reverse fault

• normal fault

• lateral fault
