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?
Which of the following statements is/are NOT true with reference to the measurement of earthquakes?  Statements:  I. The Mercalli scale measures the intensity of earthquakes on levels ranging from 1 to 9. II. The Richter scale assigns a numerical value to quantify energy released during an earthquake. III. The Moment magnitude scale is used to determine the size of an earthquake.
Which of the following forces are responsible for the generation of Tsunami Waves? 1. Vertical displacement of water due to earthquakes 2. Horizontal displacement of water due to earthquakes 3. Violent volcanic eruptions in the Oceans 4. Rapid mass movements on the Seafloor
With reference to earthquakes, which of the following statements are correct? 1. Earthquakes largely occur along the converging plate boundaries. 2.
