Geography Quiz

Answer all questions
1.Explain how an earthquake occurs(3)
2.How are fold mountains formed(3)
3.Describe the appearance of a volcano(2)
4.Evaluate the effectiveness of earth quake measures(12)

1. three types of earthquakes, by cause
-volcano eruption (medium strength) this is a medium strength earthquake that appears when a volcano explodes. It has disastrous effects in the near of the volcano, but rarely it is a wide area earthquake

-tectonic plates collision (large), the strongest earthquakes appear on the borders of tectonic plates due to collision... it has 3 waves, and it is felt in very distant lands. three waves because of differences of materials and thickness in earths crust makes the same wave travel faster or slower through some areas. Disastrous effects on a large area

-when something like a cave or similar is destroyed (small), small earthquakes with almost no consequences appear when a cave collapses, it is felt only in surrounding areas and has no impact on human establishments

2. when tectonic plates are moving closer, two types of border can be formed, in one case, one of the plates goes down and melts, the other is pushed up, then mountains and volcanoes are formed, if both go up, then just mountains arise

example of the first is collision of Eurasia and Africa, and example of the second is India and Asia, Himalaya

3. appearence, like looks of it or creation

creation - many types
tectonic plates go deep into magma, and melt, and then the melted materials in form of magma goes up forming a volcano, this types of vulcanos are active for thousands of years and are quite regalarily fueled by new materials from the crust of the melting tectonic plate.

when two tectonic plates go separate ways, something must fill the gap between, lava goes up and forms a field of volcanos, mostly underwater, you can see it on the vulcano map, there are lines stretching all over the globe on the edges of tectonical plates

looks
mountain like appearence, with a large whole within, it can have separate flows in one volcano, closed or open... built out of crystalized lava, black or really dark rocks

4. two types of evaluation

by richter, measures the strength, better and more accurate. It has a richter scale up to 12 levels. Its more accurate while it measures strenght with a device, so it can be used anywhere
someone elses, XD dunno his name, by destruction, less effective and no accuracy, because of measuring destruction that can but it most cases isnt the same on each building or structure, so, you can only measure it by looks

Marking base on High Standards.........
1.You get 1.5 marks you have all the correct factors but you have not supported your points.If I were a scientist I can challenge your claim.
2.Question Misread Fold Mountains I'm talking not just any mountain.1mark for provanence
3.1 mark for physical factors.You can get one by expressing it as an explaination of the landform material.You explain on the formation not the appearance for the rest of your points.But inclusive of other factors you could get 2 marks but as there is no source that you prove you only get one mark for unsupported.
4.Evaluation Questions Usually require
L1 Point,Explanation 1 mark for one Eva and 2marks for 2 Eva
L2 Supported Evidence and Question Relations 3=5 marks
L3 Defination of factors 7-9
L4 Explains Pros and Cons of measures 9-12
Thus 5 marks
Total 8.5/20
By normal Standards

1.3 marks
2.3 marks
3.2 marks
4.9 marks
total 17/20

if i knew you were gonna be this strict, i would've taken more time to write my answers

btw i edited it a bit, i could write more, but i am not in the mood, but check the grades again please

Alright
I will mark it when I get home my fencing exam is in 15minutes.!


Edit you have..
1.3 marks
2.2 marks(No explanation on rock strata)
3.2 marks
4.5 marks
Total 12/20
