Name:________________________________________________ Score:_______________

I.TRUE OR FALSE. Write the letter (T) if the sentence is correct and letter (F) if the statement is wrong. Write the letter
on the space before the number.

___1. A fault is a break in the Earth’s crust, and along the break, significant movement has taken place.
___2. An earthquake is a vibration of the Earth due to the rapid release of energy.
___3. The intensity of an earthquake gives us an idea of how strong or weak the shaking is.
___4. The intensity of an earthquake is determined by observing the effects of the earthquake in different places.
___5. The greater the magnitude of an earthquake, the stronger the earthquake.
___6. A magnitude 2 quake results in widespread destruction, especially near the epicenter.
___7. When a fault at the bottom of the sea suddenly moves, the water above it can be affected. A sudden push from an
underwater fault can produce a wave called a tsunami.
___8. When the tsunami reaches the shore, it slows down but it grows in height. A tsunami is very destructive because
the force of the whole ocean is behind it.
___9. All fault movement beneath the sea will produce a tsunami. Those faults that move in a horizontal direction or
vertical way will result in a tsunami.
___10. Earthquake waves don’t give us a picture of the Earth’s interior.
___11.The amount of heat transferred is determined always by the change in temperature.
___12. The difference in the hotness or coldness of the water is due to the adding of water of different temperatures.
___13. The greater the amount of heat transferred to an object, the greater the increase in its temperature.
___14. The higher the temperature of the water, the faster the scattering of the dye.
___15. Heat transfer from an object of higher temperature to an object of lower temperature.
___16. Earthquakes are associated with faults. When a fault suddenly moves, an earthquake occurs.
___17. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) uses the following scale to describe the
intensity of earthquakes in the Philippines.
___18. The released energy can be calculated by scientists and is called the magnitude of the earthquake.
___19. Earthquakes with a magnitude of 7 can cause severe damage.
___20. A sudden push from an underwater fault can produce a wave called a tsunami.

II. IDENTIFICATION. Identify to what intensity do the following situations.

Situations Intensity
1. Delicately balanced objects are disturbed slightly.
2. Most people are frightened and run outdoors. People find it difficult to stand in upper floors.
3. Practically all man-made structures are destroyed.
4. People are forcibly thrown to ground.

6. Limited liquefaction, lateral spreading and landslides are observed.
7. Trees are noticeably shaken.
8. Many sleeping people are awakened
9. Liquids in containers are slightly disturbed
10. Dizziness and nausea are experienced by some people.

III. Answering the following questions: Underline the correct answer.

1. When an earthquake occurs, where would shaking be greater? Near the epicenter or away from the epicenter?
2. Where would damage be more? Near the epicenter or away from the epicenter?
3. Based on your answers to Questions A and B, where would the intensity be higher?
Near the epicenter or away from the epicenter?
4. Give atlest 5 Important materials to be included in the emergency kit.
5. Things to do before, during and after an earthquake.
