Distribution of Active Volcanoes, Earthquakes, and Mountain Belts

______1.Where do earthquake epicenters, volcanoes, and mountain ranges commonly distributed?

A. Oceanic plates B. Continental plates C. Plate boundaries D. All of these

______2. This geologic event is a result when two continental plates converge.

A. Volcano B. Trenches C. Mountain rifts D. Mountain ranges

______3. What do we call that point on the earth’s surface that is vertically/ directly above the focus of an
earthquake?

A. Epicenter B. Hypocenter C. Intensity D. Magnitude

______4. Which of the following statements best explain why epicenters, volcanoes, and mountain ranges
are situated along plate boundaries?

A. Continental and oceanic on these regions have weak spots

B. Movements in the plate boundaries are occurring in these regions.
C. These geologic events are created in these regions because of divergent boundary.
D. Plate boundary movements are evident in these regions only because of divergent and
convergent activities.

______5. In which order will a

seismogram record seismic waves?

A. S-waves, P-waves,
surface waves
B. P-waves, S-waves,
surface waves
C. Surface waves, P-waves,
S-waves
D. P-waves, surface waves,
S-waves

______6. Which among the following

movement is NOT an example of
convergent boundary?

A. Arabian and African Plate

B. Juan de Fuca and North American Plate
C. Nazca and South American Plate
D. Australian and Pacific Plate

For questions 7-8, use the data on the below below.

Recording Station P Waves S Waves

Batangas 210 sec. 252 sec.
Puerto Princesa 256 sec. 321 sec.
 Davao 360 sec. 436 sec.
______7. Which of the following recording station has the highest time difference of P and S waves?

A. Batangas B. Puerto Princesa C. Davao D. Cannot be determined

______8. Why is S waves have bigger values than P waves?

A. S waves are faster than P waves.

B. P waves arrive first than S waves.
C. P waves moves faster than S waves but recorded second in seismograph.
D. S waves are recorded before P waves because it is refracted in the outer core.

______9. From the seismogram, the distance to the epicenter can be determined by measuring :

A. The arrival of surface waves

B. The difference in the arrival times of the p and s waves
C. The ration of the amplitude of the largest p and s waves
D. The speed of the surface waves also with the p and s waves

______10. You were asked to locate the epicenter of a recent earthquake. Which correct sequence of
events should you follow?

i. Determine the difference in the arrival time S and P waves recorded from each of the
seismological stations.

ii. Use the triangulation method to locate the center.

iii. Obtain data from three different seismological stations.

iv. Determine the distance of the epicenter from the station.

A. i, iii, ii, iv B. iii, i, iv, ii C. iii, iv, i, ii D. iv, ii, i, iii

Plate Boundaries

______11. Which of the following does NOT belong to the group of plate boundaries?

A. Convergent B. Divergent C. Congruent D. Transform

______12. This type of boundary slide past/horizontally each other which is neither constructive nor
destructive type of plate movement.

A. Convergent Boundary C. Divergent Boundary

B. Congruent Boundary D. Transform Boundary

______13. Why is a divergent boundary also called a constructive boundary?

A. Magma flows up between the plates and forms new crust.

B. Old oceanic and continental crust is re-melted into magma.
C. As collision happens, new continental and oceanic crust is formed.
D. This resulting to widening of continental crust and narrowing of oceanic crust.

______14. Mt. Apo is the highest mountain in the Philippines, it is a dormant stratovolcano in the island of
Mindanao with an elevation of 2,954 meters above sea level. Which of the following plate movement is the
closest and most ideal movement for its creation?

A. Convergent boundary between two continental crusts.

B. Divergent boundary between two continental crusts.
C. Convergent boundary between continental and oceanic crust.
D. Divergent boundary between continental and oceanic crust.

______15. Which of the following geologic events happened/experienced in divergent boundary?

 A. Earthquake, island, new oceanic and continental plates, and fault lines
B. Earthquake, island , new oceanic and continental plates, and mountain rifts
C. Earthquake, trenches, new oceanic and continental plates, and mountain rifts
D. Earthquake, trenches, new oceanic and continental plates, and mountain ranges

Processes occurring along Plate Boundaries

______16. In convergent boundary between two continental plates, which of the following geologic is NOT
formed/experienced in the said collision?

A. Earthquake B. Trenches C. Mountain ranges D. Folding and Faulting

For questions 17-19: Observe the illustration on the

right side.

______17. What type of plate movement happen in this

illustration?

A. Convergent Boundary
B. Divergent Boundary
C. Transform Boundary
D. Destructive Boundary

______18. What is the reason why oceanic crust

subducts over continental crust during collision?

A. Oceanic is composed mainly of granite

B. Oceanic crust is thinner and lighter than continental crust.
C. Continental crust is thicker but less dense than oceanic crust.
D. Oceanic crust is older than continental crust which results to subduction.

______19. Which of the following statement best explain how is volcano created in the illustration
presented?

A. Continental crust subducts which create more magma and eruption will follow.

B. Sinking oceanic crust moves deeper into the mantle, being melted then rises and may erupt
violently forming volcano.

C. Both oceanic and continental will subduct which results to more crust being melted in the mantle
then releases its heat through volcanic eruption.

D. Both A & B

20. When an oceanic and a continental plate meet, a ____________ is formed on the oceanic side, and
_____________ are formed on the continental side.

A. mountain: trenches C. volcano: trenches

B. trench: more trenches D. trench: volcanoes and mountains
