If a fault plane is nearly vertical and the blocks of rock slide past each other horizontally, what type of fault is it?

• Normal Fault

• Reverse Fault

• Strike-Slip Fault

• Oblique Fault

In a normal fault, which block of rock moves downward relative to the other?

• The hanging wall

• The footwall

• Both move equally

• Neither moves

What happens when the rocks along a fault suddenly break and move?

• A volcano erupts

• An earthquake occurs

• A tsunami forms

• A landslide happens

Which type of fault is created when rocks are pushed together, causing one block to move up and over the other?

• Normal Fault

• Reverse Fault

• Strike-Slip Fault

• Transform Fault

Imagine you have a model of a fault. If you push the two sides of the model together, what kind of fault are you simulating?

• Normal Fault

• Reverse Fault

• Strike-Slip Fault

• All of the above

The Philippine archipelago is located within the 'Pacific Ring of Fire'. What does this mean for the likelihood of earthquakes?

• Earthquakes are less likely.

• Earthquakes are more likely.

• Earthquakes only occur in Vigan City.

• Earthquakes are unpredictable and unrelated.

Which type of fault is most commonly associated with the movement along the Philippine Fault Zone, which affects areas near Vigan City?

• Normal Fault

• Reverse Fault

• Strike-Slip Fault

• All are equally common

Why are strike-slip faults common in the Philippines?

• The islands are spreading apart.

• The islands are being pushed together.

• The islands are moving horizontally past each other due to plate tectonics.

• The islands are sinking.

What is the primary reason the Philippines experiences frequent earthquakes?

• The country's tropical climate.

• Its location at the boundary of major tectonic plates.

• The presence of many volcanoes.

• The high population density.

If an earthquake occurred near Vigan City, what type of geological feature would you expect to see evidence of the movement?

• A large volcano.

• A river delta.

• A fault line.

• A coral reef.
