TEST I. DIRECTIONS: MULTIPLE CHOICE. Encircle the letter of the correct answer.
1. It is a measure of the resistance of a mineral (not specifically surface) to abrasion.
a. Luster c. Cleavage
b. Hardness d. Fracture
2. These are an aggregate of minerals. It can be composed of single mineral or more commonly,
as an aggregate of two or more minerals.
a. Chemical composition c. Ions
b. Diamonds d. Rocks
3. This process emphasizes heat as the main factor: occurs when a pre-existing rock gets in
contact with a heat source (magma), occurs on a relatively small scale: around the vicinity of
intruding magma, and creates non-foliated metamorphic rocks.
a. Contact metamorphism c. Regional metamorphism
b. Deformation d. Foliation
4. These are rocks that formed through the accumulation, compaction, and cementation of
sediments. They generally form at surface or near surface conditions.
a. Igneous rocks c. Metamorphic rocks
b. Sedimentary rocks d. Foliated rocks
5. It is the mineral’s color in powdered form. It is inherent in almost every mineral, and is a more
diagnostic property compared to color.
a. Hardness c. Streak
b. Specific gravity d. Luster
6. The external shape of a crystal or groups of crystals is displayed / observed as these crystals
grow in open spaces. The form reflects the supposedly internal structure (of atoms and ions) of
the crystal (mineral). It is the natural shape of the mineral before the development of any
cleavage or fracture.
a. Color and streak c. Crystal form/habit
b. Fracture d. Cleavage
7. This property refers to the ratio of the density of the mineral and the density of water.
a. Refraction c. Streak
b. Specific gravity d. Magnetism
8. This refers to the property of some minerals to break along specific planes of weakness to
form smooth, flat surfaces. These planes exist because the bonding of atoms making up the
mineral happens to be weak in those areas.
a. Cleavage c. Streak
b. Fracture d. Crystal form/habit
9. It is the quality and intensity of reflected light exhibited by the mineral.
a. Hardness c. Streak
b. Specific gravity d. Luster
10. This is derived from sediments that precipitated from concentrated solutions (e.g. seawater)
or from the accumulation of biologic or organic material (e.g. shells, plant material).They are
further classified on the basis of chemical composition.
a. Non-clastic / Chemical/Biochemical c. Sedimentary rocks
b. Clastic/terrigenous d. None of the above
11. These are rocks that are formed from the solidification of molten rock. Molten rock material
can solidify below the surface of the earth or at the surface of the Earth.
a. Igneous rocks c. Metamorphic rocks
b. Sedimentary rocks d. All of the above
12. It is a molten rock material beneath the surface of the earth.
a. Magma c. Pressure
b. Lava d. Heat
13. It refers to fine-grained texture; minerals not visible to the naked eye; relatively fast rates of
cooling/solidification prevented the formation of large crystals.
a. porphyritic texture c. aphanitic texture
b. vesicular texture d. none of the above
14. These are from solidified magma underneath the earth gradual lowering of the temperature
gradient at depth towards the surface would cause slow cooling/crystallization.
a. Plutonic igneous rocks c. Metamorphic rocks
b. Volcanic igneous rocks d. Sedimentary rocks
15. It is a molten rock material extruded to the surface of the earth through volcanic or fissure
eruptions.
a. Magma c. Pressure
b. Lava d. Heat
16. This mechanical disintegration process refers to the force exerted by salt crystal that formed
as water evaporates from pore spaces or cracks in rocks can cause the rock to fall apart.
a. frost wedging c. abrasion
b. salt crystal growth d. exfoliation
17. This refers to the change in the composition of minerals when they react with water.
a. dissolution c. hydrolysis
b. oxidation d. none of the above
18. This process refers as to when water gets inside the joints, alternate freezing and thawing
episodes pry the rock apart.
a. frost wedging c. abrasion
b. salt crystal growth d. exfoliation
19. This refers to the dissociation of molecules into ions; common example includes melting of
calcite and salt
a. dissolution c. hydrolysis
b. oxidation d. none of the above
20. This refers to the disintegration of rocks, breaking them into smaller pieces. This also refers
to the change in size and shape of rocks when it breaks.
a. deposition c. chemical weathering
b. mechanical weathering d. exfoliation
21. This refers to the mechanical weathering caused by plants and animals.
a. frost wedging c. abrasion
b. salt crystal growth d. biological activity
22. This process refers to the decomposition of rocks through chemical reactions that change the
original rock-forming minerals.
a. deposition c. chemical weathering
b. mechanical weathering d. exfoliation
23. This refers to the wearing away of rocks by constant collision of loose particles.
a. frost wedging c. abrasion
b. salt crystal growth d. biological activity
24. This refers to the reaction between minerals and oxygen dissolved in water.
a. dissolution c. hydrolysis
b. oxidation d. none of the above
25. This factor of weathering refers to the occurrence of weathering more quickly on a steep
slope than on a gentle one.
a. climate c. rock type
b. topography d. time
 26. Areas that are cold and dry tend to have slow rates of chemical weathering and weathering is
mostly physical; chemical weathering is most active in areas with high temperature and rainfall.
What factor of weathering is referred by this?
a. climate c. rock type
b. topography d. time
27. This rate of weathering is affected by the presence of joints, folds, faults, bedding planes
through which agents of weathering enter a rock mass. Highly-jointed/fractured rocks
disintegrate faster than a solid mass of rock of the same dimension. What factor of weathering is
referred by this?
a. rock structure c. rock type
b. topography d. time
28. This refers to the incorporation and transportation of material by a mobile agent such as
water, wind, or ice.
a. weathering c. deposition
b. erosion d. all of the above
29. This factor that affect stream erosion and deposition dictates the ability of stream to erode and
transport; controlled by gradient, channel size and shape, channel roughness, and the amount of
water flowing in the channel.
a. velocity c. speed
b. discharge d. all of the above
30. The volume of water passing through a cross-section of a stream during a given time; as the
discharge increases, the width of the channel, the depth of flow, or flow velocity increase
individually or simultaneously. What factor that affect stream erosion and deposition is this?
a. velocity c. speed
b. discharge d. all of the above

TEST II. DIRECTIONS: MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE. Write TRUE if the statement is
correct, and if it is false, change the underlined word to make the statement exact.
_________________1. Weathering, erosion/transportation, and deposition are endogenic
processes that act in concert, but in differing relative degrees, to bring about changes in the
configuration of the Earth’s surface.
_________________2. “Stagnant water” encompasses both overland flow and stream flow.
_________________3. Weathering occurs as a response to the low pressure, low
temperature, and water and oxygen-rich nature of the Earth’s surface.
_________________4. Silicates are minerals containing halogen elements combined with one or
more metals.
_________________5. A lot of minerals can exhibit same or similar colors.
_________________6. The Mohs Scale of Hardness measures the scratch resistance of various
minerals from a scale of 1 to 10, based on the ability of a harder material/mineral to scratch a
softer one.
_________________7. Non-metallic lustered rocks are generally opaque and exhibit a
resplendent shine similar to a polished metal.
_________________8. The Moh’s Scale of hardness can be used to accurately test the hardness
of industrial materials.
_________________9. Habit is the natural shape of the mineral before the development of any
cleavage or fracture.
_________________10. A mineral that does not have a crystal structure is described as
vesicular.
