Earthquake quiz

Earthquake Quiz

Earthqakes come suddenly and can have devastating effects. This quiz is about how earthquakes behave, are discovered, and how they are measured. It's a tough one so expect to use Google a lot!

Deadline: April 30. Frankly I don't think many here are smart enough to solve this one!

Find the earthquake quiz here and post your results when you're done.

Well Sir, 12 of 16 for me on this one. That's a seat-o'-the-pants no-look-up-facts score, so I feel OK with 75%. I also got a charge from seeing the quizzes come up just hours after I found myself thinking "whatever happened to our quizzes?"

Re: Earthquake quiz

I only got fifteen out of sixteen, which tells me one of the questions was ambiguously phrased.

-That's the beauty of these quizzes; they don't tell you which ones you missed. This allows you to take it again & have another chance at the prizes.
