8. What makes rocks change into clay in Hydrolysis process
A. Changes of pressure in rocks C. Exposure of rocks to water and atmosphere
B. Alternating hot and cold temperature D. Exposure to oxygen in water
9. How is a “Fall mass movement” of rocks occur?
A. when a slope failed and result to transfer of debris falling vertically
B. when pressure on rocks decreases and gets closer to surface
C. when a slope section separate along a plane of least resistance
D. when pulverized materials moved down
10. How rocks weathered due to Thermal Expansion and Contraction?
A. Exposure of rocks to water will contracts and expands rocks
B. Alternation hot and cold temperature expands and shrinks rocks

13. When is breaking of rocks identified as Chemical weathering?
A. When rock breaks without changing its composition
B. When rock filled with ice melts and leave spaces on rocks finally splits the rock
C. When rocks alters its size and shape
D. When chemical reaction causes the transformation of rock into different substance
14. What is the basis of classifying Physical weathering?
A. the agent that causes breaking of rocks C. the size of the particle after breaking of rocks
