- Q1
Alternating hot and cold temperature causes repeated expansion and compression of rock materials which breaks the rock apart. What exogenic process is illustrated by this situation?
deposition
mechanical weathering
erosion
chemical weathering
30s - Q2
Surface run-off brings fine rock particles from land to bodies of water. What process is being described by this statement?
chemical weathering
mechanical weathering
erosion
mass wasting
30s - Q3
Which CANNOT be considered as an active agent of erosion in the Philippines?
glacier
water
gravity
wind
30s - Q4
Which of the following features is formed mainly through deposition of rock particles alongside a body of water?
beach
spring
water table
cave
30s - Q5
Erosion has advantages and disadvantages. Which of the following is an advantage of erosion?
It may cause rock materials to clog waterways.
It removes the fertile topsoil that is useful in farming.
It can destruct structures such as bridges and buildings.
It can expose new rock layers that are rich in minerals.
30s - Q6
Which statement is true about all agents of erosion?
They transfer large sediments faster than smaller ones.
They erode moist materials more easily than dry materials.
They pick up sediments only when they have enough energy.
They carry rock materials from a lower elevation to a higher elevation.
30s - Q7
What is the major force that causes mass wasting of soil and rock materials?
gravity
friction
uplift
thrust
30s - Q8
Which of the following is an example of slow fast wasting?
rock fall
landslide
solifluction
avalanche
30s - Q9
Which statement is FALSE about mass wasting?
It involves large amount of rock materials.
It deposits materials to lower locations.
It is primarily caused by gravity.
It happens very quickly.
