- Q1
Granite is an example of what type of rock?
metamorphic
sedimentary
igneous
mineral
60sS11/12ES-Ib-10 - Q2
The Earth consists of four subsystems, across whose boundaries matter and energy flow. Which of the following is not an example of an interaction between the hydrosphere and biosphere?
Landslide after heavy rains
Water drank by people.
Underground water stored in the soil.
Erosion of soil after the typhoon.
60s - Q3
What can you infer about graphite from the fact that you can scratch it with just your fingernail?
It has fracture
It's not very hard
It's not very lustrous
Its streak is black-colored
60s - Q4
What could be the reason why pearl can never be considered as a mineral even though it is a gemstone?
Because during the dark ages, knights wore pearls into battle because they believed that the magic in pearls would keep them away from harm.
Because it measures 2.5-4.5 in the Mohs hardness scale.
Because it is composed of Calcium Carbonate in minute crystalline form, which has been deposited in concentric layers.
Because it’s a hard glistening object produced within the soft tissue of a shelled Mollusk.
60s - Q5
Why is Earth unique?
C I. Earth is not located in the habitable zone.
II. There are different types of organisms on Earth.
III. Earth is the only known planet where life forms exist.
IV. The Earth's atmosphere is very conducive to life's existence.
I, II, and III
II, III, and IV
III and IV
I and II
60s - Q6
Which of the following best describes how erosion by groundwater might create a landform?
Acidic water dissolves rock to form a cave
Waves crashing against a shoreline
Stream slowly wears away rock and soil
Sediment building up to form a delta
60s - Q7
Mantle convection is the gradual creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate mantle generated by convection currents that transport heat from the planet's interior to the surface. How does convection occur in the mantle?
An electric current flow in neighboring molecules to react.
Molten rock is less dense due to its hot temperature resulting to the rising of the hot material and sinking of cooler rock establishing a circular motion.
Molten rock is denser due to its hot temperature resulting to the sinking of the hot material and rising of cooler rock establishing a circular motion that moves continent.
The hotter a material, the denser it becomes
60s - Q8
The subduction zone is the place where two lithospheric plates come together, one riding over the other. The primary subduction zones in the Philippines include the Manila Trench to the west and the Philippine Trench to the east. The East Luzon Trough is the northern extension of the Philippine Trench and dips west beneath Luzon. How is magma made at subduction?
increased temperature the leads to melting at the subducting plate
frictional heating as one plate slides over another
water released from the subducting plate lowers the melting point of the mantle
increased pressure leads to melting at the subducting plates
60s - Q9
Metamorphism is the process of transforming a pre-existing rock to another form of rock due to extreme heat, pressure, and chemical reaction. How do temperature and pressure affect metamorphism?
The deeper the rock depth, the higher the pressure and temperature.
Pressure and temperature increase as you go up to the crust.
Foliation happens as there is an increase in the pressure and temperature.
Magma cannot bake the surrounding rocks due to the difference in temperature.
60s - Q10
Metamorphic rocks were once igneous or sedimentary rocks but have been changed because of intense heat and/or pressure. Which of the following is correct?
When Sandstone is subjected to heat and pressure it can be transformed into Quartzite
The parent rock of Slate can be Limestone or Gneiss
The process where rocks undergo weathering, erosion and deposition is metamorphism
If heat and pressure is applied to Basalt can exist in the form of Bituminous coal
60s - Q11
Which of the following is NOT TRUE about plutonic rocks?
They solidify and cool slowly.
They have crystals that are large enough to see with the naked eye
They are formed when lava cools and solidifies on the earth's surface
They are formed when lava cools and solidifies on the earth's surface
60s - Q12
One of the natural processes that the Philippine Government focused on readiness and preparation is the movement of west valley fault. This 100-kilometer fault from the province of Bulacan, passed through the six cities in Metro Manila and goes to the provinces of Rizal, Cavite and Laguna in CALABARZON Region. How does this fault line was form?
Plates are moving away each other.
Plates are moving towards each other.
Plates are moving above each other.
Plates are moving past each other.
60s - Q13
Which statement is FALSE on how layers of rocks are formed?
Over hundreds of years, sediments bind together to form strata.
Volcanic eruptions
Erosion and weathering on flat fields
Gravity causes sediments to be deposited vertically.
60s - Q14
During the group discussion, a leader from group asked you what stratification is. Which is your best response in this situation?
Refers to the ways sediment layers are stacked to each other.
Deposition of sediments.
Natural process wherein materials is worn away from the Earth’s surface.
Rocks undergo change caused by heat and formed through time.
60s - Q15
What is the difference between relative and absolute dating?
Absolute dating arranges the fossils in an order. while relative dating determines the numerical age
Absolute dating is the technique that gives the order of age of several samples while relative dating determines the exact age of a historical remaining.
Absolute dating compares the age while relative dating arranges the fossils in an order.
Absolute dating is the technique that determines the exact age of a historical remaining while relative dating gives the order of age of several samples.
