Science 8 December 2022 Monthly Test

This document appears to be a science test on earthquakes for an 8th grade class. It contains multiple choice questions testing knowledge of seismic waves, earthquake terminology like epicenter and focus, earthquake causes at plate boundaries, and earthquake measuring scales. It also has true/false questions and explanations to answer on earthquake causes, the relationship between volcanoes and earthquakes, and fault types. The test aims to evaluate students' understanding of core concepts in earthquake science.
