Question 1      
A 7.2 magnitude earthquake:
Correct Answer:
would have almost 33,000 times the energy release of a 4.2 quake.
       
Question 2      
Which statement is true?
Correct Answer:
Governments are supportive of the worldwide seismic network because it can detect nuclear bomb tests as well as natural earthquakes.
       
Question 3      
A tsunami:
Correct Answer:
may be just a broad, gentle swelling out at sea but grows as it approaches shore.
       
Question 4      
This diagram:
Correct Answer:
shows a displacement of 18 feet.
       
Question 5      
Earthquake prediction is not highly reliable, but geologists do know:
Correct Answer:
more earthquakes happen along plate boundaries than happen at intraplate locations.
       
Question 6      
Which statement is true? Liquefaction:
Correct Answer:
all of the above are true.
       
Question 7      
On the diagram shown:
Correct Answer:
Block X is the hanging wall.
       
Question 8      
Which statement is true?
Correct Answer:
R- and L-waves are surface seismic waves.
       
Question 9      
The locations of major earthquakes and volcanic eruptions:
Correct Answer:
are usually along the boundaries of crustal plates.
       
Question 10      
Which statement concerning tsunami events is false?
Correct Answer:
The velocity of a tsumani wave increases when the wave moves from open ocean into shallower water.
       
Question 11      
Identify the false statement: The Richter scale:
Correct Answer:
measures the size of a quake in terms of the damage it does (its intensity).
       
Question 12      
Identify the false statement.
Correct Answer:
Earthquake magnitude scales all run from one (minimum amplitude) to ten (maximum amplitude).
       
Question 13      
Identify the false statement.
Correct Answer:
Earthquakes never have hypocenters (foci) deeper than about 100 km (60 miles).
       
Question 14      
Which of the following is not a good technique for building earthquake-resistant structures?
Correct Answer:
Use concrete-block rather than wood-frame construction.
       
Question 15      
Identify the false statement. Long-term earthquake predictions:
Correct Answer:
are statements of the likelihood of an earthquake happening in some particular area within the next thousand years.
       
Question 16      
Interpret the travel-time curve shown. How many minutes between the arrival of the first P-wave and the arrival of the first S-wave?
Correct Answer:
7
       
Question 17      
Interpret the travel-time curve shown. Which line on the graph represents the S-wave?
Correct Answer:
upper line A
       
Question 18      
Interpret the travel-time curve shown. How far away is the earthquake epicenter?
Correct Answer:
350 mi
       
Question 19      
Interpret the travel-time curve shown. What time did the earthquake occur?
Correct Answer:
4:16 P.M.
       
Question 20      
Which of the following earthquake phenomena is the least likely to actually injure or kill humans?
Correct Answer:
ground shaking
       
Question 21      
Identify the false statement. Short-term earthquake prediction:
Correct Answer:
depends heavily on studying precursor phenomena like changes in water level in wells, gases, electrical conduction of rock, and animal behavior.
       
Question 22      
Identify the false statement. The tsunami event of Dec. 26, 2004:
Correct Answer:
could have resulted in an even greater death toll but for the timely warnings issued immediately after the quake.
       
Question 23      
The reading XIX is logical for a moderate-sized quake on the Mercalli intensity scale, which runs from X to XXX.
Correct Answer: False
       
Question 24      
Plotting the hypocenters (foci) of earthquakes, showing their progression from shallow to intermediate to deep as you move eastward across South America, is really drawing the profile of a subducting ocean plate.
Correct Answer: True
       
Question 25      
Roughly 80% of the earthquake energy released on Earth comes in the continental collision zone where the Himalayas are still growing; the remaining 20% is scattered at random locations worldwide.
Correct Answer: False
       
Question 26      
Although the risk is small, disastrous earthquakes can happen in regions that are not seismic zones.
Correct Answer: True
       
Question 27      
It takes less energy to activate an old fault than to create a comparably sized new one, so old faults must still be treated as areas of weakness vulnerable to earthquakes.
Correct Answer: True
       
Question 28      
If a rock undergoes enough stress to produce elastic strain, an earthquake always happens.
Correct Answer: False
       
Question 29      
Friction occurs between sliding surfaces because no surface can be perfectly smooth; all contain small bumps or protrusions.
Correct Answer: True
       
Question 30      
The New Madrid, Missouri, quakes of 1811-12 and the Charleston, South Carolina, quake of 1886 were both large intraplate quakes.
Correct Answer: True

Question 31      
Intermediate and deep-focus quakes occur in the Wadati-Benioff zones of divergent plate boundaries.
Correct Answer: False
       
Question 32      
Rayleigh seismic waves cause Earth's surface to move vertically; Love seismic waves cause the ground to ripple back and forth, creating a snake-like movement of the surface.
Correct Answer: True
       
Question 33      
Because intraplate earthquakes are infrequent and tend to have shallow hypocenters, they have had little effect on human society.
Correct Answer: False
