earthquakes (Click to view content)

1. Foreshocks are often recorded in which phase?

Preparatory phase Rupture phase Post failure phase Tertiary phase

Preparatory phase

The preparatory phase is phase in which a non-hydrostatic stress field is created in a certain region around a fault; direction of preparatory phase is to ultimately define size of actual earthquake. A number of ?foreshocks? are often recorded during this phase.

Hint Answer

2. What are surface waves called as?

P-waves S-waves Long waves Transverse waves

Long waves

The L-waves are also called long waves, or surface waves because ir journey is confined mainly to near-surface layers of Earth.

Hint Answer

3. The plate movements at boundaries are ______

Very rapid Fast Moderate in speed Very slow

Very slow

Since plate movements at boundaries are very slow, stresses go on building up in rocks of immediate neighbourhood till limits are reached.

Hint Answer

4. Which ory is acclaimed as a satisfactory explanation about cause of earthquakes?

Elastic Rebound theory Clastic theory Tremors theory Seismology theory

Elastic Rebound theory

The Elastic Rebound Theory propounded originally by H.F.Reid in 1906 is, at present, widely acclaimed as a satisfactory explanation. It was proposed by him, on basis of elaborate studies of San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 that it was related to displacement along San Andres fault.

Hint Answer

5. Stronger and resistant walls should be designed with plain concrete.

True False

False

Stronger and resistant walls should be designed with reinforced rar than plain concrete.

Hint Answer

6. What is maximum depth of focus observed till date?

100 km 500 km 700 km 1000 km

700 km

As regards distance from epicenter to focus, or depth of focus, it has been observed from study of seismic records that no earthquake with a focus deeper than 700 km has been recorded so far.

Hint Answer

7. Which class of earthquakes are most destructive?

Class A Class B Class D Class E

Class A

Earthquakes of class A are highly destructive whereas those of class E are not of any significance in relation to engineering structures.

Hint Answer

8. Furr classification of L-waves is done into how many types?

1 2 3 4

2

The L-waves are comparatively sluggish and recorded only after arrival of P and S-waves. In character, surface waves are of two main types- Rayleigh and love waves.

Hint Answer

9. What are P and S waves collectively called?

Group waves Combined waves Body waves Duel waves

Body waves

The P and S-waves are sometimes collectively referred to as body waves because y travel deep into body of Earth before re-emerging on surface.

Hint Answer

10. Rocks behave as ____ masses towards operating stresses.

Inelastic Elastic Isotropic Anisotropic

Elastic

According to Elastic Rebound Theory, rocks are believed to behave as elastic masses towards operating stresses. When se are stressed, rocks respond by bending as a first reaction.
