Let's solve the worksheet step by step.

1. Place the labels in the diagram
We are given a diagram showing an earthquake and its effects, with five blank boxes to label. The options provided are:
- Earth's crust
- Epicentre
- Hypocentre
- Fault line
- Tectonic plate
Now let’s analyze the diagram:
- The
red dot deep underground (inside the Earth) is where the earthquake starts — this is the
hypocentre (also called the focus).
- The
point directly above the hypocentre on the surface is the
epicentre.
- The
surface layer of the Earth (the green top part) is the
earth's crust.
- The
cracks or lines in the crust where movement occurs are
fault lines.
- The
large sections of the crust that move are
tectonic plates.
So now we match the labels:
#### Labeling the diagram:
1.
Top left box (pointing to the tree and house) → This is the
epicentre (on the surface).
2.
Middle left box (pointing to the red circle deep underground) → This is the
hypocentre.
3.
Bottom left box (pointing to the uppermost layer) → This is the
earth's crust.
4.
Right middle box (pointing to the crack in the ground) → This is the
fault line.
5.
Right bottom box (pointing to the large section moving) → This is the
tectonic plate.
✔ Correct labeling:
- Top left:
epicentre
- Middle left:
hypocentre
- Bottom left:
earth's crust
- Right middle:
fault line
- Right bottom:
tectonic plate

2. Select the correct words to complete the facts about earthquakes
#### a) *The earth is made up of layers: the inner core, the outer core, the mantle and the ________.*
Options:
- crust
✔
- faults
- water
👉 The outermost layer of the Earth is the
crust. So the correct answer is:
✔ crust
---
#### b) *The crust and the top of the mantle are like a puzzle made up of many pieces. These pieces move around, sliding past one another and sometimes bumping one another. These pieces are called _________ plates.*
Options:
- earth
- moving
- tectonic
✔
👉 These moving pieces are known as
tectonic plates.
✔ tectonic
---
✔ Final Answers:
#### 1. Diagram Labels:
- Top left:
epicentre
- Middle left:
hypocentre
- Bottom left:
earth's crust
- Right middle:
fault line
- Right bottom:
tectonic plate
#### 2. Multiple Choice:
a)
crust
b)
tectonic
