Which type of earthquake is caused by the collapse of underground mines? A. Explosion earthquake Answer: B. Tectonic earthquake C. Volcanic earthquake D. Collapse earthquake Explanation: Collapse earthquakes are minor tremors caused by the collapse of mine shafts or underground cavities. 2 / 202. What is the name for the process by which earthquake waves change direction when encountering different materials? A. Diffraction B. Dispersion Answer: C. Reflection D. Refraction Explanation: Refraction occurs when seismic waves bend as they pass through materials with different densities. 3 / 203. Which of the following is NOT a factor that affects the reading of gravity at different locations on Earth? A. Temperature Answer: B. Latitude C. Distribution of mass D. Altitude Explanation: While latitude, altitude, and the distribution of mass influence gravity readings, temperature does not have a direct effect. 4 / 204. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of flood basalt provinces? A. Extensive lava flows B. Thick basalt layers Answer: C. Highly fluid lava D. Explosive eruptions Explanation: Flood basalt provinces are characterized by massive outpourings of low-viscosity lava, not explosive eruptions. 5 / 205. What is the name for the outermost solid layer of the Earth? A. Core B. Crust C. Mantle D. Asthenosphere Answer: Explanation: The crust is the Earth’s thinnest and outermost layer, composed of solid rock. 6 / 206. Which of the following is NOT a type of volcano classified based on its form and eruption style? A. Shield volcano B. Caldera C. Composite volcano D. Fault volcano Answer: Explanation: There is no recognized type of volcano called a “fault volcano.” 7 / 207. Which of the following is a direct source of information about the Earth’s interior? A. Seismic waves B. Volcanic eruptions C. Magnetic surveys Answer: D. Gravity anomalies Explanation: Volcanic eruptions bring magma, or lava, to the surface, providing direct samples of material from the Earth’s interior. 8 / 208. What is the term for a wall-like structure formed when lava solidifies within cracks in the Earth’s crust? A. Batholith Answer: B. Sill C. Dyke D. Laccolith Explanation: Dykes are vertical or near-vertical intrusions of igneous rock that cut across existing rock layers. 9 / 209. What is the name for a large, dome-shaped intrusive body with a level base and a pipe-like conduit? A. Batholith B. Dyke Answer: C. Phacolith D. Laccolith Explanation: Laccoliths are lens-shaped intrusions of magma that push up the overlying rock layers. 10 / 2010. What is the term for the shaking of the Earth caused by the release of energy? A. Earthquake B. Tremor C. Seismic wave D. Fault rupture Answer: Explanation: An earthquake is the shaking or trembling of the Earth’s surface caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust. 11 / 2011. What is the name for a volcanic depression formed by the collapse of a volcano? A. Fissure Answer: B. Crater C. Caldera D. Vent Explanation: Calderas are large, basin-shaped depressions that form when a volcano collapses after a major eruption. 12 / 2012. Which of the following is NOT a type of body wave generated during an earthquake? A. P-wave B. Surface wave C. S-wave D. None of the above Answer: Explanation: Surface waves are not body waves; they travel along the Earth’s surface, while body waves travel through the Earth’s interior. 13 / 2013. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of the Earth’s mantle? A. It is mostly made up of iron and nickel. Answer: B. It is located beneath the crust. C. It is the source of magma. D. It is composed of solid rock. Explanation: The Earth’s core, not the mantle, is primarily composed of iron and nickel. 14 / 2014. What is the name for the instrument used to record earthquake waves? A. Richter scale B. Seismograph C. Mercalli scale D. Magnetometer Answer: Explanation: A seismograph is a device that detects and records ground motions caused by seismic waves. 15 / 2015. What is the term for the difference between the observed gravity value and the expected value at a location? A. Gravitational shift Answer: B. Gravity anomaly C. Seismic anomaly D. Magnetic anomaly Explanation: Gravity anomalies provide insights into the variations in the density and distribution of materials within the Earth’s crust. 16 / 2016. Where do mid-ocean ridge volcanoes occur? A. In the center of ocean basins B. Near subduction zones C. On volcanic islands Answer: D. Along the edges of continents Explanation: Mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity. 17 / 2017. Which of the following statements about the Earth’s core is true? A. It is entirely liquid. B. It is entirely solid. C. It has a solid inner core and a liquid outer core. D. It is composed of the same material as the mantle. Answer: Explanation: The Earth’s core consists of a solid inner core and a liquid outer core, both primarily composed of iron and nickel. 18 / 2018. Which of the following is NOT a factor that influences the formation of volcanic landforms? A. Type of lava B. Location of lava cooling C. Nature of eruption D. Earth's magnetic field Answer: Explanation: The Earth’s magnetic field does not play a direct role in the formation of volcanic landforms. 19 / 2019. What is the name for the point where an earthquake’s energy is released? A. Focus B. Fault line C. Epicenter D. Shadow zone Answer: Explanation: The focus, also known as the hypocenter, is the point of origin of an earthquake within the Earth’s crust. 20 / 2020. Which of the following volcanic landforms is considered the feeder for the Deccan Traps? A. Sill B. Batholith C. Laccolith D. Dyke Answer: Explanation: Dykes are believed to have been the pathways for magma that led to the formation of the Deccan Traps, a massive flood basalt province in India.Please insert your information to see your ranking अपनी Ranking जानने के लिए कृपया अपनी जानकारी भरे NamePhone Number Your score isThe average score is 0% 0% Restart quiz Category: Class 11 Geography Quizzes in English
