EXAMINATION PRACTICE TEST
Comprehensive 200-Question Practice Exam with Detailed Rationales
and Regulatory Frameworks
Domain 1: California Statutes, Regulations, and Professional
Practice
Question 1: Which California statutory or regulatory framework
governs the evaluation and mitigation of liquefaction and seismically
induced landslides in designated hazard zones?
A) The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act
B) The Seismic Hazards Mapping Act (Public Resources Code
Section 2690 et seq.)
C) The Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA)
D) The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Appendix G
exclusively
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The Seismic Hazards Mapping Act (Public Resources
Code Sec. 2690-2699.6) directs the State Geologist to delineate
seismic hazard zones (liquefaction and earthquake-induced
landslides) and requires site-specific geotechnical investigations
prior to permitting most urban developments.
