Which of the following topics are necessary to be covered BEFORE introducing the topic of earthquakes? i) Magma ii) Exogenic forces iii) Lithosphere iv) Epicentre

Which of the following topics are necessary to be covered BEFORE introducing the topic of earthquakes? i) Magma ii) Exogenic forces iii) Lithosphere iv) Epicentre Correct Answer ii, iii

The correct answer is ii, iii.

Key Points

  • Before introducing the topic of earthquakes, the topic which is necessary to be covered are:
    • Exogenic forces
    • Lithosphere
  • An earthquake is the shaking of the earth caused by the release of energy, which generates waves that travel in all directions.
  • All-natural earthquakes take place in the lithosphere.
  • The lithosphere is the rock and crust surface that covers the Earth.
  • Exogenic forces are forces that derive their strength from the earth's exterior or originate within the Earth's atmosphere.

Thus, we can say that before introducing the topic of earthquakes, topics of exogenic forces and lithosphere are necessary to be covered.

Consider the following statements about earthquake- 1. The point where the energy is released is called the focus of an earthquake, alternatively, it is called the epicenter. 2. The point on the surface, nearest to the focus, is called the hypocentre. 3. All-natural earthquakes take place in the lithosphere. 4. The most common ones are tectonic earthquakes. These are generated due to the sliding of rocks along a fault plane. Which of the statements given above is/are not correct?
A teacher creates different lesson plans for the same chapter for 3 groups of students in the class. For students who need support, she covers topics from the previous grade, for 'average' students she covers topics from the textbook and for 'outstanding' students she covers additional topics apart from the textbook. Is this a good example of differentiation? Why/Why not?

These four parts are not given in their proper order. Read the sentence/passage and find out which of the four combinations is correct. 1. Earthquakes are the shaking and moving of the ground when energy is released in waves.   P. These waves are similar to ocean waves, which move through water. Q. These waves are called seismic waves.  R. Seismic waves, however, move through the ground. S. Earthquakes can also be caused by other natural events, such as landslides and volcanoes.  6. Manmade earthquakes happen because of nuclear testing and mining explosions.
