1Who proposed Plate Tectonic Theory in 1915?
- AAlfred Wegener
- BNed Kelly
- CDavid Harvey
- DHarry Hess
2Oceanic crust is composed mostly of [blank_start]basalt[blank_end], has a thickness of approximately [blank_start]5-10[blank_end]km and is younger than continental crust.
- Abasalt
- Bgranite
- Climestone
- Dsandstone
- E5-10
- F10-20
- G1-5
- H20-200
3The core causes the temperature of the mantle to [blank_start]go up[blank_end]. This causes [blank_start]convection currents[blank_end], which cause hot magma to [blank_start]rise[blank_end] and cool magma to [blank_start]sink[blank_end] in the mantle. The convection of the magma in these currents drags the plates in the crust in the same direction as the current through the processes of [blank_start]ridge[blank_end] push and [blank_start]slab[blank_end] pull.
- Ago up
- Bgo down
- Cconvection currents
- Dsea floor spreading
- Econtinental drift
- Frise
- Gsink
- Hsink
- Irise
- Jridge
- Kslab
- Lslab
- Mridge
4The Richter Scale is logarithmic.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
5Which of the following measures the shaking of the ground?
- Atiltmeter
- BGPS
- Cseismograph
6Do hotspots move with the overlying crust?
- AYes
- BNo
7Which of the following is an example of a stratovolcano?
- AMount St. Helen's, USA
- BMauna Loa, Hawaii
- COld Faithful, USA
- DMount Vesuvius, Italy
8Economic recession is a [blank_start]secondary[blank_end] effect of an earthquake.
- Asecondary
9Label the diagram:
- ALithosphere
- BAsthenosphere

11What word describes the changing of direction of the Earth's magnetic field? [blank_start]Paleomagnetism[blank_end]
- APaleomagnetism
12What are Jökulhlaups?
- AA type of catastrophic glacial outburst flood
- BVolcanic mudflows
- CEjected rock fragments from volcanoes
- DA hot spring heated by geothermal energy

15Tectonic mega-disasters are often classified as [blank_start]high[blank_end]-impact, [blank_start]low[blank_end]- probability events.
- Ahigh
- Blow
16Label the stages of Park's Model:
- APre-disaster
- BRelief
- CRehabilitation
- DReconstruction
17TWS stands for [blank_start]tsunami warning system[blank_end].
- Atsunami warning system
18[blank_start]Social[blank_end] vulnerability is when a household or community is unable to support the disadvantaged people within it.
- ASocial
19What is the name of this diagram?
- AHazard Profile
