SCIENCE 9

Part I. Modified True or False. Write TRUE if the statement is correct but if it’s false, change the
underlined word to make the whole statement true. (Use a separate sheet for your answers.)
1. There are volcanoes which do not erupt, the cause of this difference lies in the composition of
each volcano's rocks.
2. Viscosity is the property of the material’s resistance to flow.
3. Magmas with high silica content are more viscous than those with low silica content.
4. Lava with high amount of gas as it rises has high viscosity that it piles up at the vent resulting in
a dome.
5. Highly explosive volcanoes tend to have magma with high silica, high viscosity, and higher gas
content.
Part II. Direction: Read each item carefully. Write only the letter of the correct answer for each question.
