Practice test

1TTO 3.1-3.3+3.5

This is a practice test with only multiple-choice questions. Therefore, you may find this test easier than the "real" test. Always make sure you are well prepared for the big test, regardless of the grade for this test.

Good luck!

Which of these two types of earth crust is the heaviest?

1. Oceanic plate
2. Continental plate

Molten rock under the Earth's crust is called:

1. Lava
2. Magma

A deep canyon at the bottom of the sea is called:

1. subduction
2. a canyon
3. a trench
4. a seaquake

Mercalli's scale came into use because:

1. The Richter scale no longer works because earthquakes are getting heavier.
2. The Richter scale says nothing about the amount of damage caused.
3. This one indicates the severity and damage of an earthquake, and thus is the most complete.
4. There is no difference, it's just the same as the Richter scale, but with a different name.

What do you call the plate movement shown here?

1. Convergent
2. Divergent
3. Transform

What do you call the plate movement shown here?

1. Convergent
2. Divergent
3. Transform

What do you call the plate movement shown here?

1. Convergent
2. Divergent
3. Transform

At what number was the rock formed the longest ago?

1. 1
2. 2
3. 3
4. 4

At which movement do we find subduction?

1. Transform movement
2. Divergent movement
3. Convergent movement

A tsunami can be prevented by installing a warning system.

1. Right
2. Wrong

An earthquake that causes a tsunami always has a hypocenter that is in the sea.

1. Right
2. Wrong

You depict the strength of an earthquake with:

1. the scale of Beaufort
2. a seismograph
3. Mercalli scale
4. the Richter scale

An earthquake begins somewhere deep in the Earth's crust. This is called the

1. Epicentre
2. Hypocentre

Scientists who study earthquakes are called:

1. Geologists
2. Geographers
3. Seismologists
4. Tsunamilogen

When you go from 6 to 7 on the Richter scale is the earthquake:

1. 1x as strong
2. 10x as strong
3. 100x as strong
4. 1000x as strong

Earthquakes lighter than 2 on the Richter scale.

1. You can feel
2. You do not feel it
3. Are devastating
4. Always occur after a major earthquake

Earthquakes occur in the Netherlands, but they are usually not that severe.

1. Right
2. Wrong

A caldera can form because below the volcano the .......... empties.

1. crater pipe
2. magma chamber
3. convection stream
4. earth mantle

What is not in a pyroclastic flow?

1. Hot lava
2. Hot gases
3. Hot stones
4. Ash

The whole system you see in the picture is powered by:

1. Geothermal
2. Convectional streams
3. Ocean currents (stromen)
4. Convection currents

The picture after the eruption of a volcano shows:

1. Lava
2. Magma

In this photo you see one:

1. Strato volcano
2. Shield volcano
3. Caldera volcano
4. Crater Lake

What post-volcanic phenomenon is visible in the photo?

1. Fumaroles
2. A volcanic eruption
3. A geyser
4. A hot spring

You can predict exactly when a major earthquake is going to happen.

1. Yes
2. No
3. Sometimes

You can predict where on Earth severe earthquakes are going to occur in the future.

1. Yes
2. No

What is smart to do after a tsunami alert?

1. Moving into the reinforced basement of your home.
2. Standing outside in an open area.
3. Quickly move to a high altitude area.
4. Taking a boat as far out to sea as possible.

Predicting when a volcano is going to erupt is:

1. Possible.
2. Tricky.
3. Impossible.
4. Unexpected outbursts are just fun, so don't try to predict them!

Which signal does not belong to an upcoming volcanic eruption?

1. Additional sulfur emissions
2. Increased temperature of the volcano
3. Slight earthquakes around volcano
4. Additional precipitation in the area around the volcano

How did the test go. Did it benefit you?
