In Geological & Preliminary Geohazard Assessment,

1. Geological & Preliminary Geohazard Assessment, the contents of Geological Assessment:

a. Distribution of Earth Material (rock/soil)
b. Topography and Geomorphology
c. Climate and Vegetation
d. Seismicity
e. All of the above

2. Geological & Preliminary Geohazard Assessment, Peak Ground Acceleration of the area
based on Fukushima and Tanaka Equation:
a. DHV= K*AADT
b. log10 𝐴 = 0.41𝑀 − log10 𝑅 + 0.032𝑋10.41𝑀 − 0.0034𝑅 + 1.30
c. P = 6.9(1.011)t

3. Types of Volcanoes with morphologically young looking but with no historical records of
eruption.
a. Active Volcanoes
b. Potentially Active Volcanoes
c. Inactive Volcanoes
d. Extinct Volcanoes
4. Types of Volcanoes with no record of eruptions and physical form is being changed by
agents of weathering and erosion.
a. Active Volcanoes
b. Potentially Active Volcanoes
c. Inactive Volcanoes
d. Extinct Volcanoes

5. The distance of the site to the nearest active or potentially active volcano should be
identified if there is no available volcanic hazard map, sites within _____ of a
potentially/active volcano are susceptible to volcanic hazards:
a. <50 km
b. <20 km
c. <100 km
d. <75 km

6. Naturally occurring geologic condition that may result in property damage or is a threat to
the safety of people is a depression or hole in the ground caused by some form of collapse
of the surface layer. Most are caused by karst processes:
a. Landslides
b. Slope Failures
c. Volcanic Eruption
d. Sinkholes

7. Is a topography formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite,
and gypsum. It is characterized by underground drainage systems with sinkholes and caves:
a. Cave
b. Aquifer
c. Stalactite
d. Karst

8. Type of karst hazard which is a gradual settling or sudden sinking of the Earth’s surface
owing to subsurface movement of earth materials:
a. Landslides
b. Slope Failures
c. Subsidence
d. Sinkholes

9. The principal causes of this karst hazard are aquifer-system compaction, drainage of organic
soils, underground mining, hydro compaction, natural compaction, sinkholes, and thawing
permafrost and can affect areas that are thousands of square miles in size:
a. Landslides
b. Slope Failures
c. Subsidence
d. Sinkholes

10. Type of flood hazard which is the lowering of stream-bed or undermining of foundations by
erosive action of flowing water:
a. Erosion
b. Scouring
c. Siltation
 d. Settlement

11. Type of flood hazard which is a process by which water becomes dirty as a result of fine
mineral particles in the water. When sediment, or silt, is suspended in water, this is an
example of______:
a. Erosion
b. Scouring
c. Siltation
d. Settlement

12. Type of flood hazard which is a rapid flooding of low-lying areas: washes, rivers, dry lakes
and depressions. It may be caused by heavy rain associated with a severe thunderstorm,
hurricane, tropical storm, or melt water from ice or snow flowing over ice sheets or
snowfields:
a. Erosion
b. Scouring
c. Siltation
d. Flash Flood
