Q4 / Earth and its Processes: PRE-TEST (Grade 7 - Euclid)

Which statement is TRUE about the lithosphere and asthenosphere?

• Earthquakes start in the asthenosphere.

• The lithosphere drives the crust in the asthenosphere.

• The asthenosphere moves as a consequence of the lithosphere's movement.

• The asthenosphere's movement affects the overriding lithosphere where the crust is located.

What occurs as a consequence of the tectonic forces rendered by the asthenosphere to the rocks in the crust?

• The rocks disintegrate in size.

• The rocks spontaneously slip, slide, or fracture.

• The rocks get strained as they store the force they receive.

• The rocks respond by changing their shapes based on the tectonic forces.

Which statements correctly describe active faults?

I. These are faults that have not displayed seismic activity for a long period of time.

II. These are faults where usually shallow earthquakes occur.

III. These are faults that manifest regular seismic activities.

IV. These are faults where strong earthquakes occur.
