Science test on earthquakes made by GH

What are the layers of the earth

• Crust, Mantle, Core
• Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core
• Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core, Atmosphere
• Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core, Lithosphere

What makes up earth’s lithosphere

• The crust and the upper part of the mantle
• The crust and the core
• The mantle and the core
• The crust, the mantle, and the core

The lithosphere consists of large parts called…….

• Continents
• Tectonic Plates/Plates

• Mountains
• Oceans

What is the Theory of Plate Tectonics

• The theory that the earth’s crust is made of moving plates

• The theory that explains the movement of stars
• The theory that explains the evolution of species
• The theory that explains the formation of galaxies

Draw and label the earth’s layers

The places where the earth's’ plates meet

• Plate Boundaries

• Corners
• Edges
• Intersections

What causes vibrations that shake and rattle earth’s surface

• Stored energy

• S-wave

• P-waves

• W-waves

What causes an earthquake

• When plates push and scrape each other

• When stored energy is released

• Solar flares
• When large parts of the earth are added or removed

What are faults

• A type of rock formation
• A type of cloud
• A type of insect
• The breaks in the earth’s surface

When earthquakes take place, waves of energy are sent out from the focus. What is the focus of an earthquake

• The point on the Earth's surface directly above the earthquake
• The beginning point of an earthquake

• The area most affected by the earthquake
• The point where the seismic waves are strongest
