B. Earth is in the right distance from the sun
C. Earth is kept warm by an insulating atmosphere.

3. Some minerals like mica have surfaces with planes of weak bonds in the crystals. Thus, its crystals
can be peeled like layers of onion. What is the property exhibited by mica?
A. Cleavage B. Fracture C. Hardness D. Tenacity

4. What term should be used to describe a semi-liquid hot molten rock located beneath the Earth?
A. lava B. magma C. rocks D. sand

A. crystal B. density C. element D. fracture

6. Which type of metamorphism is caused by high temperature and high pressure enacted over a large
volume of crust?
A. burial B. contact C. regional D. pyroclastic

7. How convection in Earth’s mantle does affect the formation of landmass like volcano and mountain?
A. When warm material in the mantle rises up to the surface (ground), it will cool and sinks, these
cooled materials will eventually be turned into landmass.
B. Collision and separation of tectonic plates happens due to the slow motion of convection cells.
C. Heat tries to escape in the interior of the earth.
D. All of the above

8. Earth is said to be a unique planet. Which answer verifies the statement?

C. Its atmosphere is mostly nitrogen and oxygen.
D. All of the above

mineral. If a bite mark is exhibited, then the said mineral is considered real gold. What property is
tested in this scenario?

10. What kind of heat transfer occurs mostly on the Earth’s surface?
A. conduction B. convection C. insolation D. radiation

11. What is the effect of heat and pressure in rocks as there is an increase in depth?
A. foliation surfaces shine
B. low-grade metamorphism
 C. grain size becomes coarse
