REMEDIATION ASSESSMENT

I. Identification: Name the Near-Earth Object (NEO) based on the given description: Write C if it is a
comet, M if it is a meteor and A if it is an asteroid.

1. A celestial body that reaches the Earth’s atmosphere and produces a streak of light in the sky.
2. It is composed of ice, frozen gases, rock, dust and metal.
3. Most of them can be found between planet Mars and Jupiter.
4. It develops a tail when it is approaching the sun.
5. It is known as falling star or shooting star, but it is not a real “star”.

II. Multiple Choice: Encircle the letter of the choice that BEST answers each question.

1. What causes the bright sparks of light brought by meteors?

A. Humidity
B. Air friction
C. Condensation
D. Atmospheric pressure

2. Which statement is TRUE?

A. Only asteroids collide with Earth.
B. Comets are ball of ice, rock, dust, frozen gas and metal.
C. All comets develop tails even if they are away from the sun.
D. Only asteroids can be found in the solar system.

3.Why would global temperature of the Earth drop when struck by a massive
asteroid?
A. The resulting cloud would block out sunlight.
B. The low temperature of asteroid would chill the oceans.
C. The impact would move the Earth farther from the Sun.
D. The ice in the asteroid would increase the Earth’s reflective power.

4.What is the major difference among comet, meteor, and asteroid in terms of
structure?
A. Comet contains icy shell while asteroid and meteor do not have.
B. Meteor contains icy shell while asteroid and comet do not have.
C. Asteroid and comet contain icy shell while meteor does not have.
D. Asteroid contains icy shell while asteroid and meteor do not have.

5.How does earth’s atmosphere protect us falling debris of Near-Earth Objects

(NEO)?
A. It just reflected back the falling debris because the earth has elastic
material.
B. It acts like a blanket that shield the living things from the impact force by
burning the debris through air friction.
C. The planet will deflect the falling debris by varying its rotational speed.
D. The sun helps the earth through its emitted solar wind to the falling
debris.
