Question 6 of 14

6. Question

Questions 6–10: Passage 1 – Earthquakes and Seismic Waves

[1] Earthquakes occur when energy stored along geological faults is suddenly released, generating seismic waves that travel through Earth’s crust. [2] Primary waves (P-waves) travel the fastest and compress the ground in a push-pull motion, while Secondary waves (S-waves) move slower and shake the ground side-to-side. [3] Following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake in Japan, early warning systems detected fast-moving P-waves seconds before the destructive S-waves arrived, giving residents crucial moments to seek cover. [4] Conversely, shallow fault ruptures near coastal zones pose a higher risk of triggering destructive tsunamis than deep inland ruptures do.

6. What can be inferred from sentences [2] and [3] about P-waves?

A) They cause more structural building damage than S-waves do.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

B) They provide a brief advance signal before stronger shaking begins.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

C) They move at the same speed as ocean tsunami waves.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

D) They only occur during earthquakes in coastal zones.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Question 7 of 14

7. Question

7. Which of the following is implied about the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake?

A) It was detected early enough to prevent all physical damage.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

B) Its P-waves moved fast enough to activate automated warning systems.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

C) It produced S-waves that traveled faster than its P-waves.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

D) It was caused exclusively by deep inland fault ruptures.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Question 8 of 14

8. Question

8. Based on sentence [4], what can be inferred about earthquake depth and location?

A) Shallow coastal earthquakes carry a greater risk of ocean-related hazards.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

B) Deep inland ruptures never produce detectable seismic waves.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

C) Tsunami formation depends mostly on the speed of P-waves.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

D) Shallow faults are less dangerous to nearby cities than deep faults.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Correct

Incorrect
Question 9 of 14

9. Question

9. The author implies that the level of danger an earthquake presents depends largely on:

A) The time of day the fault rupture takes place
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

B) The specific types of seismic waves and where the rupture occurs
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

C) The distance between the earthquake epicenter and the equator
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

D) The length of time between P-wave and S-wave formation
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Question 10 of 14

10. Question

10. Which statement best expresses the main inference of the entire passage?

A) S-waves are the only seismic waves that cause concern for coastal communities.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

B) Seismic wave properties and rupture conditions determine how an earthquake impacts an area.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

C) Tsunami warning systems have completely eliminated the risk posed by shallow earthquakes.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

D) All earthquakes produce identical ground motion regardless of their depth.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer
