Question 1

kumain ka na ba?

Definition

Answer 1

An earthquake is the shaking of the Earth’s surface caused by the sudden release of
energy in the Earth’s crust, resulting in seismic waves.

Question 2

Causes

Answer 2

Earthquakes are primarily caused by the movement of tectonic plates along faults. Other causes include volcanic activity, landslides, and human activities such as mining or reservoir induced seismicity

Question 3

Classification

Answer 3

• Based on Depth:
• Shallow Earthquakes: Occur within 70 kilometers (43 miles) of the Earth’s
  surface.
• Intermediate Earthquakes: Occur between 70 and 300 kilometers (43 to 186
  miles) deep.
• Deep Earthquakes: Occur at depths greater than 300 kilometers (186 miles)
  below the Earth’s surface.
• Based on Origin:
• Tectonic Earthquakes: Result from the movement of tectonic plates.
• Volcanic Earthquakes: Associated with volcanic activity, such as magma
  movement and volcanic eruptions.
• Induced Earthquakes: Triggered by human activities, such as reservoir-induced
  seismicity or mining.
• Based on Magnitude:
• Microearthquakes: Magnitude less than 2.0.
• Minor Earthquakes: Magnitude between 2.0 and 4.0.
• Light Earthquakes: Magnitude between 4.0 and 4.9.
• Moderate Earthquakes: Magnitude between 5.0 and 5.9.
• Strong Earthquakes: Magnitude between 6.0 and 6.9.
• Major Earthquakes: Magnitude between 7.0 and 7.9.
• Great Earthquakes: Magnitude 8.0 and above.
• Based on Location:
• Intraplate Earthquakes: Occur within a tectonic plate, away from plate
  boundaries.
• Interplate Earthquakes: Occur along plate boundaries, where tectonic plates
  interact.

Question 4

Effects

Answer 4

Earthquakes can cause various effects, including ground shaking, surface rupture, landslides, tsunamis, liquefaction, and secondary hazards such as fires and floods.

Question 5

Mitigation and Preparedness

Answer 5

Mitigation measures include building earthquake-resistant
structures, land-use planning, strengthening infrastructure, early warning systems, public
education, and emergency preparedness drills.

Question 6

Intensity

Answer 6

The degree of shaking and damage caused by an earthquake at a specific location.

Question 7

Magnitude

Answer 7

The total energy released by an earthquake at its source, indicating its size and strength.

Question 8

Plutonic

Answer 8

Igneous rocks formed beneath the Earth’s surface through slow cooling of magma.

Question 9

Tectonic

Answer 9

Processes related to the movement and deformation of the Earth’s outer shell due to
interactions between tectonic plates.
