Test: When the Earth Shook MCQ - 2 - Class 5 MCQ

The uppermost layer is made of tectonic plates

Check for damage: Check for damage to water, gas, and electric lines. This statement is correct
Using matches or lighters: Avoid using matches or lighters near stoves or barbecues until you're sure there are no gas leaks.
Turning gas back on: If the gas is turned off, don't turn it back on yourself. If you need to turn the gas back on, contact your utility company.

Less rain causes land to go barren

Earthquake means movement of the tectonic plaates

• No Air: Famine does not directly result in a lack of air. However, the scarcity of resources during a famine can lead to poor air quality due to deforestation, burning of biomass for cooking, and other environmental factors.



• No electricity and gas: During a famine, access to electricity and gas may be severely limited or completely cut off. This can make cooking, heating, and other essential tasks difficult for affected populations.



• No food: The most critical aspect of a famine is the lack of food. Famine occurs when there is a widespread scarcity of food leading to malnutrition, starvation, and even death in extreme cases.



• None of these: This option is incorrect as famine is primarily characterized by the absence of an adequate food supply, leading to severe hunger and suffering among affected populations.

In summary, famine is a devastating situation characterized by a severe lack of food, which can result in widespread hunger, malnutrition, and even death among affected populations. It can also lead to secondary consequences such as limited access to electricity, gas, and poor air quality due to environmental factors.

A seismograph, or seismometer, is an instrument used to detect and record earthquakes.

• Definition: The amount of ground displacement in an earthquake refers to the movement of the Earth's surface along a fault line during an earthquake.


• Key Term: The term commonly used to describe this movement is "slip."


• Measurement: Ground displacement is measured in terms of the distance the two sides of a fault have moved relative to each other during the earthquake.


• Effects: Ground displacement can result in significant damage to buildings, infrastructure, and the natural environment.


• Causes: Ground displacement occurs due to the release of accumulated stress along a fault line, causing the rocks on either side to move suddenly.


• Monitoring: Scientists use various techniques, including GPS and satellite imagery, to monitor ground displacement before, during, and after an earthquake.
