Q:

With reference to earthquakes, which of the following statements are correct?

A. Earthquakes largely occur along the converging plate boundaries.

B. Point of origin of earthquake in lithosphere is known as focus/hypocenter.

C. Intensity of earthquake decreases with distance from the epicenter.

D. Epicentre of earthquake always remains over continents only.

Select the correct answer using the code given below.

A) 1 and 2 only	B) 1, 2 and 3
C) 2 and 3 only	D) 1 and 4

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1, 2 and 3

Explanation:

Epicentre of Earthquakes can be over both oceanic and continental surface. Epicentres above oceanic surface are cause of tsunamisof large intensity. Anearthquake's hypocentreis the position where the strain energy stored in the rockis first released, marking thepointwhere the fault begins to rupture.

Q:

Consider the following statements :

1. There is no net moment on a body which is in equilibrium.

2. The momentum of a body is always conserved.

3. The kinetic energy of an object is always conserved.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A) 1, 2 and 3	B) 2 and 3 only
C) 1 and 2 only	D) 1 only

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1 and 2 only

Explanation:

There are two conditions that must be met for an object to be in equilibrium. The first condition is that the net force on the object must be zero for the object to be in equilibrium. If net force is zero, then net force along any direction is zero.

Kinetic energy (KE) is the energy of motion, and kinetic energy is not always conserved in a collision

Energy and momentum are always conserved.
