SY 2020-2021
I. EXOGENIC PROCESSES
Directions: Choose the letter of the correct
answer. Write the letter of your choice before
each item / encircle the letter of your choice.
1) Which of the following statements describes a
mineral?
A. it is natural occurring, organic, solid, with
crystal structure, and definite composition
B. it is man-made, inorganic, solid, with
crystal structure, and definite composition
C. it is naturally-occurring, inorganic, solid,
with crystal structure, and definite composition
D. it is naturally-occurring, inorganic, solid,
with crystal structure, and indefinite composition
2) Which among the three rock types are formed
due to the melting of rocks
brought about by volcanic activities?
A. Igneous rocks
B. Sedimentary rocks
C. Metamorphic rocks
D. Pleiomorphic rocks
3) Which statement is NOT true for sedimentary
rocks?
A. Sedimentary rocks often have layers
showing deposition of sediment at different time
periods.
B. Sedimentary rocks often have fossils
trapped within them.
C. Sedimentary rocks often have layer
structures of crystals caused by effect of heat and
pressure.
D. Sedimentary rocks consist of layers of
lots of small particles and are often porous.
4. Which statement is an example of biological
weathering?
A. A tree in front yard spreads its roots in a
sidewalk, pushing the sidewalk up and causing it to
crack
B. Over the course of two years, the top
layer of soil at a Bukidnon farm is
blown away.
C. Rainfall collects in a crack in a rock.
When the temperature drops, the
water freezes cracking the rock
D. A very large storm occurs along the coast.
The waves washed away sands in the shore.
5) This is an exogenic process from which rocks
are transported downslope
due to the action of gravity.
A. Erosion
B. Mass Wasting
C. Weathering
D. Deposition
II. EARTH’S INTERNAL HEAT COMES
FROM
11) Which of the following is a necessary
requirement in maintaining the convecting outer
core and earth’s magnetic field?
A. Heat flow from the core of the earth.
B. Heat accretion of the early element on
earth.
C. Heat generated by long term radioactive
decay.
D. Heat lost by the earth during the formation
of primordial heat.
12) What may be possibly formed if there is a
radioactive decay of elements
in the earth’s mantle?
A. There may be production of radiogenic
heat.
B. Convection current may occur thus
producing elements.
C. Convection current will produce daughter
cells and heat loss.
D. There may be production of accretion and
bombarded heat.
13) Which of the following are the sources of
earth’s internal heat?
A. Heat from the accretion and bombardment
of the earth during its early stage.
B. Heat generated from the radioactive decay.
C. Both a and b are the correct answer.
D. Only b is the correct answer
14) In which particular layer of the earth does
the convection current occurs?
a. Mantle b. Crust
 c. Inner core d. outer core
15) Which of the following statements is
TRUE about the mantle convection
in earth?
a. Convection occurs at the mantle, but not
between the core and
mantle.
b. Convection occurs at the mantle, but not
between the crust and
mantle.
c. Convection occurs at the mantle and it
distributes the heat for lava
formation inside the earth.
d. Convection occurs at the crust and it
distributes the heat for lava
formation inside the earth.
III. MAGMATISM
Directions. Indicate whether the statement is
TRUE/FALSE. If FALSE, change the
underlined word/phrase to make the statement
true.
______________ 16. The most abundant
molecule found in magma is silica.
______________ 17. The higher the
temperature of magma is, the higher is its
viscosity.
______________ 18. Magmas with high silica
content are more viscous than those with low silica
content.
______________ 19. Transfer of heat occurs
when water or carbon dioxide are added to rocks.
______________ 20. Magma originates in the
upper part of the Earth’s crust and in the lower
portion of the mantle.
______________ 21. Areas of lower pressure
always have always have a higher melting point
than areas of high pressure.
______________ 22. A lava is a piece of rock
trapped in another type of rock.
IV. METAMORPHISM
Direction: Read and understand the given
statement, write True if the statement is correct
and False if it not then modify the
ord/statement that makes it false.
________________23) Minerals that crystallize or
grow in the differential stress field can have a
preferred orientation thus, forming foliation.
________________24) Slate is a metamorphic
rock metamorphosed out of Shale.
________________25)Clay minerals, serpentine
and chlorite are hydrous minerals that are involved
in high grade metamorphism
