Hi Justin! Let’s try to recall the concepts of volcanoes and earthquakes which were
discussed in your past classes.

Direction: Choose the best answer from the box provided.

Mount Pinatubo Normal Focus Extinct

Shield volcano Reverse Earthquake Richter Scale

Caldera Strike-slip Dormant Seismograph

Cinder volcano Epicenter Active Plateau

______________1.Is used to measure the amount of seismic energy released by an

earthquake.

______________2.This refers to the point on the earth's surface vertically above the
focus of an earthquake.

______________3.This refers to the place inside Earth's crust where an earthquake

originates. 

______________4.Is a kind of volcano (according to its activity) which has not erupted
in the past 10,000 years and no longer has a lava supply.

______________5.Is an active volcano that is not erupting but supposed to erupt again.

______________6.Is the sudden movement of the Earth's tectonic plates, resulting in

shaking of the ground

______________7.Also called as ash cone, is a fairly small volcano and the simplest
kind of all volcanoes.

______________8.Is an instrument used to detect and record earthquakes.

______________9.This is a volcano formed by lava flows of low viscosity, just like the
Mauna Lowa in Hawaii.

______________10.This is a volcano located in the Philippines which is an example of

a composite volcano/ a stratovolcano.

Did you know? Composite volcanoes tend to form TALL PEAKS rather than ROUNDED
CONES.

______________11.Is a fault which is caused by the movement of two plates against

one another and the release of built up strain.

______________12.This refers to a fault where the hanging wall moves up while the
foot wall moves down.

______________13.Is a fault in which the hanging wall moves down relative to the
footwall.
