Case Study Questions

1. A hockey field is the playing surface for the game of hockey. Historically, the game was
played on natural turf (grass) but nowadays it is predominantly played on an artificial turf. It is
rectangular in shape - 100 yards by 60 yards. Goals consist of two upright posts placed
equidistant from the centre of the backline, joined at the top by a horizontal crossbar. The
inner edges of the posts must be 3.66 metres (4 yards) apart, and the lower edge of the
crossbar must be 2.14 metres (7 feet) above the ground. Each team plays with 11 players on
the field during the game including the goalie. Positions you might play include-
 Forward: As shown by players A, B, C and D.
 Midfielders: As shown by players E, F and G.
 Defenders: As shown by players H, I and J.
 Goal Keeper: As shown by player K Using the picture of a hockey field below, answer the
questions that follow:

 Fault Lines
Large faults within the Earth's crust result from the action of plate tectonic forces, with the
largest forming the boundaries between the plates. Energy release associated with rapid
movement on active faults is the cause of most earthquakes.
