What is the main difference between igneous and metamorphic rocks?

Their origin and formation process

What is the primary source of the Earth's internal heat?

Friction from tectonic plate movement

Why is the Earth's internal heat important for geological processes?

It drives plate tectonics and geological activity

It causes the Earth's surface to heat up

It creates the Earth's magnetic field

It affects the Earth's climate and weather patterns

How does the process of magmatism contribute to the formation of igneous rocks?

Through the cooling and solidification of magma

Through the erosion of existing rocks

Through the weathering of rocks

Through the deposition of sediments

What is the primary cause of metamorphism in rocks?

Changes in pressure and temperature

Plate tectonics and earthquake activity

Human activities such as mining and drilling

Which of the following is an example of a physical change that occurs in rocks during metamorphism?

The increase in density of the rock due to compression

The formation of new minerals with different chemical compositions

The transformation of shale into slate

The release of heat and gas during the process

What is the main difference between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks in terms of their formation?

The location where the rocks form

The type of minerals present in the rocks

The speed at which the rocks cool

Which of the following is a valid conclusion based on the characteristics of igneous rocks?

The texture of an igneous rock can indicate the environment in which it formed.

Granite is a type of extrusive rock that forms from fast-cooling lava.

Basalt is a type of intrusive rock that forms from slow-cooling magma.

Igneous rocks can only form from the cooling of lava.

What is the process by which layers of rocks are formed, where older rocks are buried by newer rocks?

Plate tectonics and continental drift

Which of the following is a valid inference based on the principle of superposition in stratified rocks?

The fossils found in a layer of rock can indicate the environment in which it was formed.

The oldest rocks are always found at the surface.

The layers of rocks can be formed in any order.

The process of deposition and lithification can occur only in water.

Which of the following is a valid conclusion based on the use of relative and absolute dating in determining the subdivisions of geologic time?

The use of both relative and absolute dating methods provides a more accurate and complete picture of Earth's history.

The geologic time scale is a fixed and unchanging system.

The divisions of geologic time are based solely on relative dating methods.

The geologic time scale is only applicable to the study of fossils.

What can be inferred from the geologic time scale about the Earth's history?

The Earth's history can be divided into distinct eras and periods based on geological events and fossil records.

The Earth's history is a static and unchanging sequence of events.

The geologic time scale is only applicable to the study of rocks and minerals.

The Earth's history is a random and unpredictable sequence of events.

What is a common hazard associated with earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides?

Loss of infrastructure and property damage

What is the primary purpose of a hazard map?

To identify areas prone to hazards brought about by natural disasters

To predict the exact time and location of a natural disaster

To provide evacuation routes during a natural disaster

To assess the damage caused by a natural disaster

What is a key consideration when interpreting a hazard map?

The color scheme used on the map

The type of natural disaster being depicted

How do human activities such as mining and construction contribute to landslides?

By decreasing the vegetation cover and increasing the risk of erosion

By increasing the stability of the soil

By changing the climate and weather patterns

By reducing the risk of earthquakes

What is a potential consequence of human activities that trigger landslides?

Loss of life and property damage

What do hazard maps typically show in relation to tropical cyclones, monsoons, floods, or ipo-ipo in the Philippines?

The areas with high risk of flooding and strong winds

The exact location of the disaster

The evacuation routes during a natural disaster

The damage caused by a natural disaster

How do hazard maps help in identifying areas prone to hazards brought about by tropical cyclones, monsoons, floods, or ipo-ipo in the Philippines?

By providing a detailed timeline of the disaster

By showing the exact location of the disaster

By highlighting the areas with high risk of flooding and strong winds

By identifying the causes of the disaster

What is a potential limitation of using hazard maps to identify areas prone to hazards brought about by tropical cyclones, monsoons, floods, or ipo-ipo in the Philippines?

The maps may not be regularly updated, leading to outdated information

The maps are too accurate and may not account for unexpected events

The maps are only useful for predicting the exact location of a disaster

The maps are not effective in identifying areas with low risk of flooding and strong winds

How does human activity, such as coastal development, contribute to coastal erosion and saltwater intrusion?

By altering the natural coastal processes, such as changing the direction of longshore drift

By reducing the amount of sediment available for coastal deposition

By increasing the natural rate of coastal erosion through wave action and tidal currents

By reducing the risk of saltwater intrusion through the construction of seawalls

What is a way to prevent or mitigate the impact of land development on coastal processes?

Implementing sustainable coastal management practices

Building seawalls to protect the coastline

Disposing of waste in coastal areas

Constructing structures in sensitive coastal ecosystems

A coastal town is planning to develop a new resort along its coastline. What is a way to mitigate the impact of this development on coastal processes?

By implementing a sustainable waste management system to reduce pollution

By constructing a seawall to protect the resort from erosion

By building the resort on a fragile coastal ecosystem

By ignoring the potential impacts of the development on coastal processes
