  2. The shift of the tectonic plates present on the earths core

  3. The shift of the tectonic plates present on the earths mantle

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Earthquake is a sudden violent shaking of the ground, typically causing great destruction, as a result of movements within the earth's crust and the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves.
  • Tectonic plates are pieces of Earth's crust. Together with upper mantle, it is called the lithosphere.
  • Earthquakes are caused due to the shift of the tectonic plates present on the crust of the earth.

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Earthquake is a sudden violent shaking of the ground, typically causing great destruction, as a result of movements within the earth's crust and the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves.
  • A seismograph, or seismometer, is an instrument used to detect and record earthquakes. Generally, it consists of a mass attached to a fixed base. During an earthquake, the base moves and the mass does not.
  • Hence earthquakes recorded by a seismograph.
  • So, the correct answer is 'By a seismograph'.

Which of the following can act as natural barriers to control Tsunami?

  1. Coral Reefs

  2. Mangroves

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
  • A tsunami or tidal wave, also known as a seismic sea wave, is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake.
  • Mangroves are forests of salt-tolerant trees and shrubs that grow in the shallow tidal waters of estuaries and coastal areas in tropical regions. Mangroves protect shorelines from damaging storm and hurricane winds and tsunami.
  • A coral reef is an underwater ecosystem characterized by reef-building corals. Reefs are formed of colonies of coral polyps held together by calcium carbonate. Coral reefs provide protection to our coasts from the tsunami, storms, and floods.
  • Hence Coral Reefs and Mangroves can act as natural barriers to control Tsunami.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Both A and B'.
