D Correct answer
Explanation

Earthquakes can cause structural damage to buildings, trigger secondary disasters like floods (via dam failure or tsunamis), and destroy natural habitats.

Which of the following is the main cause of earthquake?

  1. Change in temperature and pressure below the ground level

  2. Floods

  3. Draught

  4. shifting of tectonic plates
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
Earthquakes are caused by tectonic movement of rock plates in the earth where the rock plates also known as tectonic plates either break at a point of fault or rub against the other thus causing shaking of the ground.
So, the correct answer is 'shifting of tectonic plates'

The intensity of earthquake is measured by 

  1. Speedometer

  2. Richter scale

  3. Barometer

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The Richter scale is a logarithmic scale used to quantify the magnitude of an earthquake. Speedometers measure vehicle speed, and barometers measure atmospheric pressure.

Which of the following can cause the landslides?

  1. Deforestation

  2. Vibrations from machinery or traffic

  3. Afforestation

  4. Both A and B
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Landslides are triggered by both natural and human-induced factors. Deforestation removes soil-stabilizing roots, while vibrations from machinery or traffic can destabilize slopes.

  2. Water pollution

  3. Radioactive pollution

  4. Both A and B
