Question 1 of 5
1. Question
2 pointsIsostasy refers to :
Correct
Isostasy or isostatic equilibrium is the state of gravitational equilibrium between Earth’s crust (or lithosphere) and mantle such that the crust “floats” at an elevation that depends on its thickness and density.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
2 pointsWhich of the following statements about the Nazca plate is correct?
Correct
The Nazca plate, named after the Nazca region of southern Peru, is an oceanic tectonic plate in the eastern Pacific Ocean basin off the west coast of South America. The ongoing subduction, along the Peru–Chile Trench, of the Nazca Plate under the South American Plate is largely responsible for the Andean orogeny.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
2 pointsConsider the following hints provided
1. Occurrence of continental coastline as a puzzle
2. Paleoclimatic evidence such as Glacial tail
3. Rock samples across coastline matching
Identify the theory on the basis of hints provided:Correct
The continental drift hypothesis was developed in the early part of the 20th century, mostly by Alfred Wegener. Alfred Wegener proposed that the continents were once united into a single supercontinent called Pangaea, meaning all earth in ancient Greek. He suggested that Pangaea broke up long ago and that the continents then moved to their current positions.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
2 pointsWhich of the following earth movements can be categorized as Diastrophic movements
Correct
Diastrophism, also called tectonism, large-scale deformation of Earth’s crust by natural processes, which leads to the formation of continents and ocean basins, mountain systems, plateaus, rift valleys, and other features by mechanisms such as lithospheric plate movement (that is, plate tectonics), volcanic loading, or folding.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
2 pointsWhich of the following statements is/are correct about earthquake measuring scales?
1.Mercalli scale measures the amount of vibration of earth’s crust.
2.The Richter scale measures the damage intensity.
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:Correct
Mercalli scale is a twelve-point scale for expressing the local intensity of an earthquake, ranging from I (virtually imperceptible) to XII (total destruction).
The Richter magnitude scale is a scale of numbers used to tell the power (or magnitude) of earthquakes.Incorrect
