Science 7 summative

Which type of fault occurs when the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall?

• Normal fault

• Oblique-slip fault

• Reverse fault

• Strike-slip fault

What is the defining feature of a reverse fault?

• Hanging wall moves down

• Hanging wall moves up

• Fault plane is horizontal

• Displacement is horizontal only

How does a strike-slip fault differ from other types of faults?

• It involves vertical motion of the fault plane.

• It features lateral, horizontal displacement of rocks.

• It forms due to compressional forces.

• It forms under high-temperature conditions only.

In what way are normal faults and reverse faults similar?

• Both result from tensional forces.

• Both require horizontal stress to develop.

• Both occur only at transform plate boundaries.

• Both involve vertical motion along the fault plane

A geologist observes a fault where the hanging wall has moved upward relative to the footwall. What type of fault is this likely to be?

• Normal fault

• Oblique-slip fault

• Reverse fault

• Strike-slip fault

Analyze the following scenario: A fault features both vertical displacement and horizontal slip along an inclined plane. What is this type of fault called?

• Normal fault

• Oblique-slip fault

• Reverse fault

• Strike-slip fault

What is the primary cause of an earthquake?

• Volcanic eruptions

• Movements along faults

• Coastal erosion

• Climate change

What type of fault is characterized by one block moving up relative to another?

• Normal fault

• Reverse fault

• Strike-slip fault

• Transform fault

How do movements along faults generate earthquakes?

• By creating floods in coastal regions

• By releasing stored energy as seismic waves

• By forming cavities beneath the Earth's surface

• By altering ocean currents

Why are the Philippines prone to earthquakes?

• It is located in a desert region

• It has frequent volcanic eruptions

• It experiences strong typhoons regularly

• It is near several active fault systems and plate boundaries
