the space before the number.
___1. They are formed by the accumulation of
lava that oozes out from the volcano resulting to a
broad, slightly domed structure that resembles a
warrior’s shield.
A. Shield volcanoes C. Composite volcanoes
B. Cinder volcanoes D. Columnar volcanoes
___2. What do you call the funnel-shaped
opening at the top of a volcano?
A. crater C. caldera
B. slope D. base
___3. Which is true for inactive volcanoes?
A. Inactive volcanoes are those that show no
record of eruption.
B. Inactive volcanoes are those that have records
of eruption
C. Inactive volcanoes have erupted recently
D. All statements are correct
___4. Which does not determine the nature of
eruption?
A. chemical composition of magma
B. temperature of magma
C. amount of gas contained
D. time of eruption
___5. What is the relationship between the
temperature of magma and viscosity?
A. The higher the temperature of magma is, the
lower its viscosity is.
B. The lower the temperature of magma is, the
higher its viscosity is.
C. The higher the temperature of magma is, the
higher its viscosity is.
D. The lower the temperature of magma is, the
lower its viscosity is.
___6. How does the chemical composition of
magma affect its viscosity?
A.
B. Magma that contains high silica is relatively
fluid and travels far before solidifying.
C. Magma with low silica content is less viscous
D. Magma with less silica content has high
viscosity that it can travel a great distance.
___7. How does the amount of gas contained in
the magma affect its viscosity?
A. Magma with high amount of gas is very
viscous.
B. Magma with low amount of gas as it rises has
low viscosity.
C. Magma with high amount of gas as it rises has
low viscosity.
D. The loss of gases makes magma less viscous
___8. What is geothermal energy and how does it
work?
A. It uses heat from deep inside the Earth to
generate steam to make electricity.
B. It uses cold from deep inside the Earth to
generate steam to make electricity.
C. It uses cold from surface of Earth to generate
steam to make electricity.
D. It uses heat from the sun to generate steam to
make electricity.
___9. Where does geothermal energy come
from?
A. wind C. heat from the Earth
B. sunlight D. ocean tides and waves
