Third Quarterly Examination in Science 9
GENERAL DIRECTION: Read and analyze each item carefully. Any form of erasures and overwriting will be considered as
wrong answer. Write your answer in the answer sheet for numbers 1 - 10 and shade the corresponding circle of your answers
for numbers 1 - 50.
TEST I: IDENTIFICATION
DIRECTION: Identify what is being asked in each item.
1. Volcanoes that do not have a recent history of eruptions and are not likely to erupt again.
2. Conical volcanoes that are built up by many layers of hardened lava and tephra.
3. Eruption style that forms lava flows.
4. Eruption can be weak to violent characterized by lava fountains and outburst of molten lava.
5. State of the air and atmosphere at a particular time and place.
6. The total amount of electromagnetic energy emitted per unit of time by a star.
7. Typical materials ejected from this kind of eruption are egg-shaped.
8. Volcano that is shaped like conical hill with high slopes and typically have a bowl-shaped crater at the summit.
9. It causes near-instantaneous evaporation of water to steam resulting in an explosion of steam, water, ash blocks and
volcanic bombs.
10. Phenomena in the South East Pacific is characterized by torrential rains and heavy floodings.
TEST II: ALTERNATIVE RESPONSE
DIRECTION: Identify what is being asked in each item. Shade the circle of your chosen letter in the provided answer sheet
A. Both statements are false. C. Statement A is false, statement B is true.
B. Both statements are true. D. Statement A is true, statement B is false.
11. Statement A: Weather is the state of the atmosphere including several factors like temperature and precipitation.
Statement B: Climates are not always permanent, and change drastically due to human activity.
12. Statement A: Extinct volcanoes are not expected to erupt in the future.
Statement B: Active volcanoes are volcanoes that have not erupted for a very long time but may erupt at a future time.
13. Statement A: Explosive eruption happens when magma has high viscosity.
Statement B: Effusive eruption forms shield volcanoes.
14. Statement A: Pahoehoe forms when the effusion rate is low.
Statement B: Aa are smooth bubbly crust of a lava flow.
15. Statement A: High silica content in magma makes magma flows slowly.
Statement B: High viscosity magma has low silica content.
16. Statement A: The higher the angle of latitude, the greater the sun’s rays.
Statement B: Statement A means the lower the average temperature.
17. Statement A: Mayon Volcano is an example of composite volcano.
Statement B: Mayon Volcano is built up by many layers of hardened lava and tephra.
18. Statement A: Plinian eruption is a weak to violent eruption characterized by lava fountains and outburst of molten lava.
Statement B: Vulcanian eruption results from the release of large quantities of accumulated magmatic gas.
19. Statement A: Betelgeuse is a red star while Sol is a yellow star.
Statement B: Statement A means that Sol is hotter than Betelgeuse.
20. Statement A: Absolute magnitude is irrespective of distance.
Statement B: Apparent magnitude is factored by size and distance.
21. Statement A: Hurricanes are giant, spiraling tropical storms in the Atlantic Ocean.
Statement B: Hurricanes are spins in a counter-clockwise direction.
22. Statement A: Climate describes the average weather conditions of a particular place over a 30-year period.
Statement B: All places on Earth have their own climates.
23. Statement A: The closer the distance to sea level, the higher the average temperature.
Statement B: Statement A means that the area has a low elevation.
24. Statement A: There is an increase intensity in seismic activity before a volcanic eruption.
Statement B: There is a decrease frequency in seismic activity after a volcanic eruption.
25. Statement A: Sun sustains its own light by the process called nuclear fission.
Statement B: Nuclear fission produces helium out of hydrogen.
A. Statement is false. B. Statement is true.
26. The greater the vegetation in an area, the colder the temperature at day.
27. Vulcanian eruption releases large amounts of ash and steam.
28. Twister is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm down to the ground.
29. If the temperature rises, the area is elevated.
30. Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth’s surface observed since the pre-industrial period.
31. If the area is deserted, the temperature drops at night.
32. Pillow lavas are bulbous, spherical, or tubular lobes of lava.
