    A. A B. B C. C D. D
    2. What type of faulting is illustrated in this diagram?
    A. Normal B. Thrust C. Reverse D. Strike-slip

    4. Point D is called the _______________.
    A. Epicenter B. Focus C. Fault plane D. Hypocenter
    5. How will you differentiate between focus and epicenter?
    A. The focus is the spot directly above the epicenter on the surface of the earth while epicenter is where the
    first movement of an earthquake occurs underground.
    B. The focus is the origin of the earthquake while the epicenter is the spot directly above the focus on the
    surface of the earth.
    C. Both A and B are correct.
    B. None of the above.

    For items numbers 6-8, refer to the illustration below:

    moved past each other?
    A. focus B. fault
    C. fault plane D. epicenter
