Solution

Statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true.

Explanation: Earthquakes are not caused by disturbances in the inner core of the earth. They are actually caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves. This energy can be built up by tectonic forces or volcanic activity.

Statement 2 is true. Tremors on the surface of the earth do produce seismic waves which are recorded by a seismograph. These seismic waves can provide valuable information about the location and magnitude of an earthquake.

The first factor is the distance that rock slides along a fault surface after it breaks, called the fault slip. The second factor is the area of the fault surface that Blank 10 Question 2 (are, was, were, is)  actually broken by the earthquake. And the third factor is the measurement of how rigid the rocks are near the broken fault.

Scientists have determined that Earth's interior has layers with different properties. One property is that the inner core is solid. Which of the following statements can be used as evidence to support this property? A. During an earthquake, both P waves and S waves travel away from the focus through the interior of Earth. B. Seismographs that are far from the epicenter of an earthquake detect P waves much sooner than S waves. C. After an earthquake, P waves are detected on the opposite side of Earth but S waves are not. D. P waves do not refract based on the density of the medium it is traveling in, but S waves do.

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.
