Question

True or False

1. The mesosphere is stronger than the asthenosphere because it is under more pressure. (T/F)

2. Earthquake magnitude varies with distance from the epicenter, but intensity does not. (T/F)

3. Earthquakes only happen in the Earth’s lithosphere. (T/F)

4. S-waves cannot travel through liquids. (T/F)

5. The majority of fresh water on our planet comes from the ocean. (T/F)

6. The movement of Earth’s plates is also contributing to the natural variability of our climate. (T/F)

7. We have been in the current ice age for the last 2.8 million years. (T/F)

8. All asteroids orbit Earth. (T/F)

Explanation / Answer

True. Reason: The lower layers of earth are under pressure and gets more denser. False. Reason: The instensity varies with person to person with respect to the epicenter. true. Reason: Plates are present in the crust that is in the lithosphere, which are the only things react to the earthquake. True. Reason: They can travel only through solids. because s waves are shear waves and solids have enough shear strength to make S waves to pass through it. False. Reason: It comes from glaciers and icecaps. True. Reason: The movement of plates creates trenches in the sea and creates new mountain. false. Reason: correct number of years is 2.6 million years.
