Midterm Examination in Earth and Life Sciences

What do you call this space that emerged before the humanity?

• Big Bang Theory

• Creation

• Universe

• Nebular Hypothesis Theory

In the space there is a unique planet known for its capability to support life. This planet is called _____.

• Mars

• Saturn

• Jupiter

• Earth

Which of the following description states the uniqueness of the earth?

• Earth is the nearest planet in the Sun.

• Earth is the sister of Mars.

• Earth is the hottest planet.

• Earth is the only planet that has liquid in its surface.

How would you describe the relationship of atmosphere and hydrosphere through hydrological cycle?

• The liquid evaporates and condensates, then it flows back into the earth in the form of rain.

• The liquid evaporates and flows back into the earth in the form of rain then condensed.

• The gas precipitates and condensates, then flows back into the earth in the form of rain.

• The liquid precipitates in the form of rain then evaporates before it condenses.

In an experiment done by your section. The teacher told you to fill two glasses with water. Then, slowly drop the rocks with different texture on each of the glass. In the glass A the particles of the rocks float while in the glass B, the reaction of the water did not change. Why did glass A and B have different reaction?

• The rock in Glass A has coarse particles while the rock in Glass B has fine particles.

• The rock in Glass A has rubber nature while the rock in Glass B is crystalized.

• The rock in Glass A has fine particles while the rock in Glass B has coarse particles.

• The Glass A has crystallized particles of rocks while the Glass B has fine particles of rocks.

How did the rocks were formed?

• Volcanic Eruption - Igneous Rocks - Metamorphism - Sedimentary Rocks - Metamorphic Rock - Sediments - Volcano

• Volcano - Volcanic Eruption - Igneous Rocks - Sediments - Sedimentary Rocks - Metamorphism - Metamorphic Rock

• Volcanic Eruption - Igneous Rocks - Metamorphism - Sedimentary Rocks - Metamorphic Rock - Sediments

• Metamorphic Rock- Volcano - Volcanic Eruption - Igneous - Sediments - Sedimentary Rocks

Igneous Rock and Metamorphic Rock come from the Rock Cycle. Igneous is known for its dense and hard characteristic however Metamorphic Rock is denser and harder. What can you imply in this statement?

• Igneous Rock seems brittle and light than Metamorphic Rock because it came from the deep part of the crust.

• Metamorphic Rock becomes harder and denser than Igneous Rock because it has undergone the process of compaction and cementation.

• Metamorphic Rock becomes harder and denser than Igneous Rock because it has undergone the process of Metamorphism.

• Igneous Rock and Metamorphic Rock should not be compared.

Igneous Rocks are formed from the cooling of melted rock that crystallized for a long period of time into a solid form called magma, if it is confined beneath the surface. Which type of Igneous Rocks is being described in the sentence?

• Intrusive or Plutonic Rock

• Rhyolite

• Extrusive or Volcanic Rock

• Granite

In a news article released by Manila Bulletin in 2022 it stated that, “Mere rock dust could help save humanity. A study from the UK found that dispersing rock dust on farmlands could capture up to 45% of the carbon dioxide that is required to help the UK achieve its net-zero target by 2050.” Why would dispersing of rocks benefits the mankind?

• Rocks are like animals which consumes more carbon dioxide.

• Rocks decomposed with other nutrients and grow like trees.

• Rocks alters its properties when it becomes sediments.

• Rocks are able to absorb carbon dioxide through a process called chemical weathering.

Super Typhoon Goring brought strong winds and rains that triggered landslide in Cagayan and Ilocos provinces, this was taken from the report of Ivy Hernando of GMA Regional TV One North Central Luzon on August 30, 2023. How would you explain the occurrence of landslide?

• The landslide happened because of heavy rain and wind brought by the Typhoon Goring.

• The landslide occurred because of erosion by gravity.

• The landslide happened because of the presence of weathering.

• The occurrence of landslide was due to deposition.
