Froggy Jumps EARTHQUAKES (Uppersixth Art Geology)Online version Test your knowledge on key geology terms related to earthquakes! by YAKILI LMS 1 What is an earthquake? a A volcanic eruption. b A sudden shaking of the ground caused by seismic waves. c A tidal wave. 2 What is the focus of an earthquake? a The surface location above the earthquake. b The area of highest damage. c The point within the Earth where an earthquake originates. 3 What is the epicenter of an earthquake? a The point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus. b The area where aftershocks occur. c The center of the tectonic plate. 4 What does magnitude measure? a The depth of the earthquake. b The energy released at the source of the earthquake. c The number of aftershocks. 5 What does intensity measure? a The speed of seismic waves. b The effects of an earthquake at different locations. c The temperature of the ground. 6 Which term describes the strength of an earthquake? a Focus. b Intensity. c Magnitude. 7 Where is the focus located? a On the surface. b In the atmosphere. c Beneath the Earth's surface. 8 What is true about the epicenter? a It is always directly above the focus. b It can be anywhere on Earth. c It is the strongest point of the earthquake. 9 Which scale is commonly used to measure magnitude? a Richter scale. b Fujita scale. c Beaufort scale. 10 What can intensity vary based on? a Distance from the epicenter and local building structures. b The time of day. c The type of soil only. 11 What is the primary cause of tectonic earthquakes?
