Our country, the Philippines is prone to volcanic and seismic activity. There are numbers of deadly earthquakes that are listed and I believe that most countries experienced this traumatic natural disaster.
All of us must be knowledgeable or even expert about the earthquake. We must know the do’s and don’ts when it occurs. We must know the cause and effects of it. We must be ready before it happens.
Let us test ourselves to know if we are educated enough about the said event through this quiz.

6. Should brush up my knowledge as Malaysia is surrounded by the “fire belt”. In fact we felt the tremor when it hit Indonesia a few years back
You’re lucky. Unlike here in our place, we are experiencing earthquakes yearly.
4 right only! But, like indexer, I live far away from any earthquake activity 🙂
6 of 10
That’s better. Thanks, ac.
Quite educational… Thanks, Cassy! 🙂
I’d probably be ready, although we don’t get earthquakes where I live – the UK.
Really? Even ones the UK never experienced an earthquake? How lucky you are.
As you say in your quiz, earthquakes normally happen at plate boundaries, and the UK is happily situated well away from the edge of a plate. Minor Earth tremors do happen, but only very rarely can they be felt – I can only recall one occasion on which I noticed a tremor. Likewise, the nearest volcanoes to the UK are in southern Italy – which is certainly prone to earthquakes.
8 of 10 – I really should know these things. I’ve been through some earthquakes
But at least you’ve answered almost perfect.
6/10 not ready enough.
Hi, Dawnwriter. Thank you for sharing your result. Anyway, I believe that you learned from this set of questions.
