First Quarter Remedial Test in Science 10

This document is a science test for 10th grade students covering topics in plate tectonics and seismology. It contains 20 multiple choice questions testing students' knowledge of key concepts like the theory of plate tectonics, characteristics of lithospheric plates, types of plate boundaries, seismic waves, and earthquake preparedness and safety. It also includes identification questions asking students to name plate boundary types, Earth's layers, types of body waves and surface waves. The test was prepared by the science teacher Erma D. Vasaya for students at San Sebastian National High School in the Philippines.
