Earthquakes Quiz
Earthquakes Quiz takes you through some of the most fascinating basics of Earth science. In 1985, a powerful earthquake in Mexico City caused buildings far from the epicentre to collapse while others closer to it stood firm. Scientists later found that the soft lakebed under parts of the city had amplified the seismic waves, making the ground shake longer and harder. This incident led to major changes in construction codes and urban planning. Such real-world examples show how unpredictable earthquakes can be. This set of earthquakes questions blends general trivia with multiple choice formats to make it both educational and engaging. The earthquakes MCQ section especially helps test what you know and discover what you didn’t.
