Universe
On what year Michael Greshko from the National
Geographic published a narrative of how the Universe was formed?
January 18, 2017
Any phenomenon that has the potential to cause disruption or damage to humans and their environment
Natural Hazard
These are physical processes which create and modify land forms on the surface of the earth?
Geomorphic
What forms when minerals or non-minerals form aggregates?
Rock
A rift valley is evidence of which kind of plate boundary
Divergent
The geocentric model says that the earth is at the center of the cosmos or universe and every other celestial body rotates around the earth. Who postulated this theory?
Ptolemy
Julie is asked by her mother to make her a coffee.
Judy puts coffee in the cup as she pours the hot water and as she stirs the coffee, she notices that the spoon become warm. Identify the energy transfer process involve in the scenario.
Conduction
The Richter scale measures which of the following
earthquake characteristics?
Magnitude
What rock is formed when a granodiorite
undergoes metamorphism?
Gneiss
The convergence of two continental plates would produce?
folded mountains
The concept that the sun is at the center of the universe, also first emerged in Ancient Greece. Who first postulated the Heliocentric Model?
Aristarchus of Samos
It’s already 11 PM and Chris is still up making his reports in his laptop. He notices that every time he put his hands near the fan of his laptop, he can feel a warm air coming out and made his hand hot. What energy transfer process is the reason for this?
Radiation
Air moving from the poles toward the equator turns west. The primary cause of this global deflection is?
The rotation of the Earth
Exogenic process is responsible for the modification of the Earth’s land formation. It occurs near or at the surface of the Earth.
Formation of rocks
What does it imply if an earthquake hits an area with a magnitude of 6.8 with an intensity of X based on the modified Mercaili Intensity and Ritcher Magnitude Scales?
Most masonry and frame structures destroyed
Although many ancient civilizations designated certain patterns of stars as constellations, what feature of planets, as opposed to stars, explains this?
They do not maintain a fixed position relative to other plants or stars.
Every time Jade boils the water, he always wonders what the mechanism is behind it. He always takes notice the small bubble making their way up to the surface of the water. What would be the possible type of energy transfer fit for Jade’s observation?
Convection
Mass wasting is the downslope movement of rock and soil under the direct influence of gravity. Among the most important and dramatic mass-wasting triggers are earthquakes. Do you think rapid mass-wasting events always require some sort of trigger, such as heavy rains or an earthquake?
No, slope materials gradually weaken over time, under the influence of long-term weathering, infiltration of water, and other physical processes. / No, the timing of such events is random, and accurate prediction is not possible
What rock is formed when a limestone rock
undergoes metamorphism?
Marble
Based on what we have discussed about plate tectonic
boundaries, what happens during Convergent plate
boundary?
When oceanic crust collides with continental crust,
denser crust will subduct which will create coastal
mountains
The concept that the sun is at the center of the universe, also first emerged in Ancient Greece. Who first postulated the Heliocentric Mode
Aristarchus of Samos
Natural hazards like tropical cyclone is a natural
phenomenon that occurs in our planet. The Philippines is prone to tropical cyclones due to its geographical location which generally produce heavy rains and flooding of large areas and also strong winds which result in heavy casualties to human life and destructions to crops and properties. Given the deleterious impacts of tropical cyclone, as a student, what BEST action you will take in order to help minimize its impacts to people, economy, and environment in general?
Participate in greening activity and attend seminars to gain information and awareness.
The Long Valley Caldera in east-central California was formed by a massive volcanic eruption about 760,000 years ago. Since then, it has erupted several times. Of the following, which would be least likely to indicate that another eruption will soon occur?
Decreases in precipitation in the area.
We already discussed the rock cycle as an important
material of the Earth. Your instructor would like you to study the history of the Earth specifically evidences for deciphering past environment. What rock type will you consider for you to achieve your objective?
Sedimentary rock
Earthquake is a result of energy release underneath the Earth’s crust which results to the shaking of the surface of the Earth’s crust. What is the cause of the movement or shaking of the ground?
Movement of plate tectonics/Volcanic activity
