Question

1. Shallow focus earthquakes are found along which type of plate boundary?

a. Convergent b. Transform c. Divergent d. All boundary types

2. Which feature below is a convergent boundary associated with?

a. Flat topography b. Deep trench c. Mantle upwelling d. Mid-ocean ridge

3. Earthquakes primarily happen along:

a. Coastlines b. River Valleys c. Plate boundaries d. Population centers

4. The mechanism by which rocks store and eventually release energy in the form of an earthquake is referred to as:

a. Fault rebound b. Elastic rebound c. Seismic rebound d. Stress fracture

1 answer : d

2 answer: b

A trench is a narrow v shaped depression which is formed by the process of subduction of a tectonic plate along a convergent plate boundary.

3 answer : c

Most of the earthquakes known to occur along plate boundaries, and in regions where faulting is happening.

4 answer : b

Elastic rebound theory explains how the the energy is released during an earthquake.
