Part VIII. Questions. Question 2. What types of waves aregenerated by an Earthquake? How do the move through the earth?
A. Earthquakes generate different types of seismic waves.
B. Each kind of wave causes a different kind of motion in therock as it passes by, and travel through rocks at differentspeeds.
C. The different types seismic waves arrive at a distant pointon Earth at different times.
D. All of the above
Part VII. Earthquakes Today: Seismic Monitor. Question 3. Whereare most earthquakes located in terms of their distribution ontectonic plates?

Part VI. Earthquake Probability. Question 3. How do theprobabilities of a magnitude 7 quake change over time?
a. The probabilities increase with an increasing time window inthe same way for both cities
b. The probabilities decrease with an increasing time window inthe same way for both cities
c. The probabilities increase for both cities with increasedlength of time but the increase over time is slower in NewMadrid.

Part V. Determining the magnitude of an earthquake. Question 1.What factors would you look for to measure the size of anearthquake?
A. By measuring the amount of elastic rebound generated from theearthquake.
B. By measuring the amplitude, or height, of seismic waveson a seismogram which represents the energy released during theearthquake.
