Summative test in Science-7 Q4

Which type of fault is most likely to occur in the Philippines due to its tectonic setting?

• Normal fault

• Reverse fault

• Strike-slip fault

• Transform fault

How does the movement along a strike-slip fault differ from that of a reverse fault?

• Vertical movement

• Horizontal movement

• Rotational movement

• No movement

Which of the following methods can be used to locate the nearest fault system to a community?

• Using a compass

• PHIVOLCS FaultFinder

• Earthquake seismograph

• Barometer

What is the primary reason why earthquakes occur along fault lines?

• Erosion

• Human activity

• Tectonic plate movement

• Atmospheric pressure

The point on the Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus is called the:

• Hypocenter

• Magnitude

• Epicenter

• Intensity

Which of the following best explains why the Philippines experiences frequent earthquakes?

• It is located in the Polar region

• It is near the equator

• It is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire

• It is a desert region

How can underwater earthquakes lead to tsunamis?

• By causing volcanic eruptions

• By displacing large volumes of water

• By increasing sea temperature

• By dissolving land

What scale is used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake?

• Richter scale

• Celsius scale

• Beaufort scale

• Kelvin scale

How does the intensity of an earthquake differ from its magnitude?

• Intensity measures energy released; magnitude measures damage

• Intensity measures damage; magnitude measures energy released

• Intensity measures duration; magnitude measures speed

• Intensity measures location; magnitude measures distance

What is the primary function of a seismograph?

• To predict weather changes

• To measure atmospheric pressure

• To record earthquake waves

• To track volcanic activity
