QUESTION NO. 1
You were asked by your Earth and Life Science teacher to research on the possible evidences that showed how our planet is unique compared to
other planets. You became more interested after knowing that it was not just the water and oxygen content of our planet set it apart from the
other terrestrial and jovian planets. After your keen reserach, you now then formulated your analysis paper. Which do you think would be your

might gathered that can be the possible reason for this soil activity?
A. There is a prominent soil erosion due to the grazing animals present.

B. Human activities brough by quarrying attributed as the root cause of soil erosion in the area.
C. The water flow on the Lagnas River is the major reason for erosion since the soil becomes weaker.

Recently, Dagatan National High School in Dolores, Quezon was affected by an intensity 3 earthquake that caused panic and cancellation of
classes due to occurrence of possible damage in the school’s building. As you analyze the situation, which lessons in your Earth and Life Science
class can explain the possible reason for earthquake and why do you say so?
A. Continental Drift Theory- since the plates are moving as they drift or move apart.
B. Plate Tectonics- wherein the magma sneaks on the chamber going out of the crust.
C. Seafloor Spreading- since it is a depiction of how mantle convection increases the rate of recycling of rocks.
D. Plate Tectonics- similar to transform plate boundary, possible the plates slide past each other as it moves similar to a raft on a semi-solid and

paleontologist report after a series of laboratory test, the fossils possibly lived around the Jurassic period. From this discovery, which of the
following statements are true?

iii. Possibly the fossil can be on the group of dinosaurs since it was dated during Jurassic period.
iv. Carbon-14 dating method was used in analyzing the age of the fossils since they were bones of once living organism.
v. Since Carbon-14 method was used, Lead 14 was counted to determine the half life and the exact age of the fossils found.
vi. The paleontologist used the law of superposition by checking the properties of the rock layers and cross examine its similarity with the other
rocks.
