TRUE or FALSEDirections: Identify whether the following are true or false. Select the corresponding answers from the given options.1. There are three main types of fault which can cause earthquakes: normal, reverse (thrust) and strike-slip.*1 pointChoose2. The Ring of Fire is a string of volcanoes and sites of seismic activity, or earthquakes, around the edges of the Pacific Ocean.*1 pointChoose3. Tension stress occurs when two blocks of rock separate from one another. Tension stress creates a type of fault known as a reverse fault.*1 pointChoose4. Most seismic activity occurs at three types of plate boundaries—divergent, convergent, and normal.*1 pointChoose5. A boundary is a crack in the Earth's lithosphere that occurs between two pieces of rock. *1 pointChoose6. The Marikina Valley Fault System, one of the most well-known and feared fault lines in the Philippines. *1 pointChoose7. The place where two tectonic plates come together and meet is a plate boundary.*1 pointChoose
