1. 1. Which of the following faults is most likely to occur along transform faults?

• LATERAL FAULT

• NORMAL FAULT

• REVERSE FAULT

• STRIKE-SLIP FAULT

2. 2. Which of the following differentiate dip-slip faults from strike-slip?

• Dip-slip faults are classified as left-and right-lateral, while strike-slip faults are classified
  as normal and reverse.
  

• Dip-slip faults are classified as normal and left-lateral, while strike-slip faults are   
  classified as left-and right-lateral.
  
  
  

• Dip-slip faults move horizontally in the direction of the dip, while strike-slip faults move
  parallel to the direction of the dip.
  
  

• . Dip-slip faults move parallel to the direction of the dip, while strike-slip faults move
  horizontally in the direction of the dip.

3. 3. Which of the following refers to faults that show both the motion of strike-slip and dip-slip faults?

• . Left-lateral

• Normal

• Oblique-slip

• Right-lateral

4. 4. Which of the following is true about the Philippine Fault Zone?

• It spans about 300 kilometers

• It is a right-lateral strike-slip fault

• It is an active fault in the Philippines

• It has been an inactive fault for about 200 years

5. 5. Which of the following measures an earthquake's intensity based on the observed effect on people and structures?

• Richter scale

• Centigrade scale

•  Modified Mercalli scale

• Moment magnitude scale

6. 6. How does earthquake intensity differ from earthquake magnitude?

• Magnitude measures the energy released, while intensity measures the damage caused.

• Magnitude measures the area affected, while intensity measures the frequency of aftershocks.

• Magnitude measures the ground shaking, while intensity measures the duration of the earthquake.

• Magnitude measures the depth of the focus, while intensity measures the distance from the epicenter.

7. 7. Which of the following best describes the epicenter of an earthquake?

• The area where the ground shakes is most intense.

• The point on the Earth's surface is directly above the focus.

• The point within the Earth where the fault rupture begins.

• . The deepest point within the Earth, where the seismic energy is released.

8. 8. What role does the focus of an earthquake play in determining its effects on the Earth's surface?

• The focus determines the direction of the seismic waves.

• The deeper the focus, the more severe the ground shakes.

• The shallower the focus, the greater the potential for tsunamis.

• The focus has no direct impact on the effects of the earthquake.

9. 9. During an earthquake, what is the most appropriate action to take if you are indoors?

• Stand in a doorway to prevent door collapse.

• Turn off all utilities and evacuate the building.

• Run outside and seek open space immediately.

• Stay inside and hide under a sturdy piece of furniture.

10. 10. How can coastal communities mitigate the impact of tsunamis on their shoreline infrastructure?

• By conducting regular drills and exercises to test emergency response plans

• By constructing seawalls and levees to absorb the energy of tsunami waves.

• By encouraging residents to build homes closer to the coastline for easier evacuation during tsunamis.

• By relying solely on early warning systems to evacuate residents before the arrival of a tsunami.
