Question

Heyyy is anyone good at earthquakes science? Please help me I really need help.

Answer 1

Please someone

Answer 2

what do you need help with?

Answer 3

So its earthquake science and its a true or false worksheet.

Answer 4

ok

Answer 5

and i do not understand or know what to put like I'm so confused

Answer 6

ok so what's the question or worksheet

Answer 7

ok so one of them is
A. earthquakes can be felt by humans

Answer 8

b. earthquakes tend to occur far from plate boundaries

Answer 9

c. Most transform fault produce moderate and shallow quakes

Answer 10

ok now let's start on A. What do you think it is, True or False?

Answer 11

I think its true bc earthquakes do cause diasters and we can feel them but then it says that humans cant feel certain earthquakes so I'm not really sure

Answer 12

so you are correct so the question would be True

Answer 13

bc over 100,000 can be felt by humans and roughly around 100 can cause damage

Answer 14

ohhh ok but humans can not fell 2.5 earthquakes so the answer would still be true?

Answer 15

yes bc mostly they can

Answer 16

okk thanks

Answer 17

ofc now onto b

Answer 18

and im thinking B is false

Answer 19

ok im gonna look at the question rq cuz i wrote it down instead of scrolling

Answer 20

okk

Answer 21

ok and I also made sure that my answer was correct. here is an explanation and tell me if you think it is True or False after reading

Answer 22

ok

Answer 23

"Most earthquakes occur along Plate Boundaries, where plates are moving relative to one another. However, some earthquakes occur away from Plate Boundaries. Most of the earthquakes occur in the middle of the continents."

Answer 24

ok so do you think it is still false or true?

Answer 25

False

Answer 26

ok

Answer 27

I am pretty sure you are correct. just in case could you give me one reason why you think so

Answer 28

the statement was that earthquakes happens away from plate boundaries but faults occur at plate boundaries and earthquakes are created due to the pressure from faults so the statement it false.

Answer 29

Great job! that is right. Now onto C.

Answer 30

ok C has got me really confused

Answer 31

ok what part makes you confused?

Answer 32

the whole statement

Answer 33

bc i think it has a shallow quake but I'm not sure if it is a moderate quake

Answer 34

ok i think you are right with the shallow part.

Answer 35

So does this make you think it is True or False. "Most transform plate boundaries cut through relatively thin oceanic crust, part of the structure of the ocean floor, and produce relatively shallow earthquakes that are only rarely of major magnitude."

Answer 36

oh reading that makes me think that it is false

Answer 37

wait i mean true

Answer 38

Yes, It is True!

Answer 39

it'sall just the tectonic plates shifting causing the ground to shake.

Answer 40

yayy ok and another question is D. earths core is made up of half liquid and half solid

Answer 41

i think thats false bc its made up of iron but then it has a solid layer and a liquid layer

Answer 42

"The core of the Earth is made up mainly of iron, in an outer liquid layer and an inner solid layer. The outer core is where the circulating conducting liquid ge" <<

Answer 43

yea it's all magma but the water in the ground cools it and turns it into rock.

Answer 44

True or False? ik you say false

Answer 45

i think its false

Answer 46

but then theres like the outer layer so I'm not sure

Answer 47

ok so it says that the Core of the Earth is mostly made up of Iron. it also says that an outer liquid layer and an outer solid layer.

Answer 48

sorry inner solid layer

Answer 49

ok so that would make it false bc the question is only stating that the core is made up of half liquid and half solid

Answer 50

Yes Correct!! Good Job!!

Answer 51

and its the outer core that has the liquid and solid right?

Answer 52

the outer core has liquid and the inner is solid

Answer 53

ok the next one is convergent motion occurs when two plates are pushed together

Answer 54

i think that one is true

Answer 55

"When two plates come together, it is known as a convergent boundary. The impact of the colliding plates can cause the edges of one or both plates to buckle up into a mountain ranges or one of the plates may bend down into a deep seafloor trench." True or False?

Answer 56

true

Answer 57

yes!

Answer 58

okkk umm the next one is divergent motion creates reverse faults

Answer 59

ok so by using my resources i have found that, "Reverse faults form when the hanging wall moves up. The forces creating reverse faults are compressional, pushing the sides together. They are common at convergent boundaries. Together, normal and reverse faults are called dip-slip faults, because the movement on them occurs along the dip direction -- either down or up, respectively." based on this what do you think of the question?

Answer 60

I think that it makes the statement false since reverse faults are created at convergent boundaries and not divegent

Answer 61

Yes!!

Answer 62

and then we have S waves shear rock back and forth

Answer 63

i think thats true bc S waves shear rock

Answer 64

you are right!! c:

Answer 65

and then theres: the focus is the point on the surface above the epicenter

Answer 66

"Focus is the first point of movement along a fault where all earthquake waves originate - it is below the surface. The epicenter is the point on the surface above the focus - the place on the surface that would receive the most intense vibrations."

Answer 67

so it would be false since the focus is below the epicenter

Answer 68

yes!!

Answer 69

and the last one is seismic waves last longer on the Earth than on the moon

Answer 70

what do you think, True or False, and why?

Answer 71

true bc seismic waves on the moon last 80% less than seismic waves on earth

Answer 72

Correct!!!

Answer 73

oookk thats the end of it thank you so much<3

Answer 74

ofc, you did so well and im glad i could help!! <3
