    The document contains 12 multiple choice questions about earthquakes including their causes such as tectonic plate movement, the process of how they occur underground with a hypocenter and epicenter, and how scientists study them using seismographs. It also asks about related geological concepts such as the Earth's mantle and fault lines.

    Activity 1: Read the following passage and answer the questions which follow.
    1. What is the area called when one tectonic plate is pulled underneath another?
    2. What is the hot melted rock called that forms the mantle?

    3. What is the energy released from an earthquake called?

    4. What is the scale called on which scientists measure the magnitude of an earthquake?

    5. What are fault lines?

    6. What are likely to occur along fault lines?

    7. What is the point called where the earthquake actually occurs under the earth’s

    surface?

    8. What is the point called on the surface that is directly above the hypocenter of the

    earthquake? This is the spot on the crust where the earthquake is felt most strongly.

    9. What are the mini earthquakes right before the main earthquake called?

    10. What are the mini earthquakes right after the main earthquake called?
