Question 1: What is the primary purpose of conducting a consolidation test on a soil sample in environmental geotechnical studies?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To determine the soil's ability to settle under stress

To analyze the soil's permeability

To measure the shear strength of the soil

To assess the soil's drainage capacity

Question 2: In the context of soil mechanics, which factor most significantly influences the shear strength of soil?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Soil grain size

Soil compaction and density

Soil moisture content

Presence of organic matter

Question 3: In rock mechanics, what is the primary difference between uniaxial compressive strength and triaxial compressive strength?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Uniaxial compressive strength is measured in one direction, while triaxial compressive strength considers three axes

Uniaxial strength is more applicable in laboratory settings

Uniaxial compressive strength applies to sedimentary rocks only

Triaxial strength is more relevant for soil than rock

Question 4: In rock analysis, what is the significance of Rock Quality Designation (RQD)?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It assesses the rock's resistance to weathering

It measures the mineral composition of the rock

It indicates the degree of fracturing in rock

It helps determine the porosity of the rock

Question 5: During a climate change hazard assessment, what is the most effective method for evaluating sea-level rise impacts on coastal ecosystems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Coastal erosion models

Historical tide data review

Land use change simulations

Meteorological data analysis

Question 6: Which geospatial technology is most often used in environmental hazard assessment to map pollution hotspots?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Seismic reflection surveys

Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR)

Remote sensing satellites
