Test Paper Prefinal in Natsci 2

1. The document is a pre-final exam in Earth Science containing multiple choice and matching questions about topics relating to the atmosphere, weather, climate, and hydrologic cycle. 2. The exam tests knowledge of concepts such as the composition of the atmosphere, causes of wind patterns, types of precipitation, and natural phenomena like the greenhouse effect and El Niño. 3. Students are asked to identify true/false statements, match terms to their scientific definitions, and explain processes like ocean evaporation, typhoon naming, and the impacts of global warming.

Pre final Exam in Earth Science

Name: __________________________________________ Yr/Sec: ___________ Score: ____________

I- True or false. Write YES if the statement is correct and NO if the statement is wrong on the
blank provided for each sentence. Note: Correct minus wrong. No answer will be mark
wrong.
__________1. Dust is responsible for the blue color of the sky.
__________2. Pure air is colorless, odorless, tasteless, elastic and compressible.
__________3. Buoyant force supports flying birds and aircraft, floats balloons, and scatters
seeds and pollen grains over distant areas.
__________4. Oxygen supports burning or combustion.
__________5. Carbon dioxide puts fires by cutting off the oxygen supply needed for
combustion.
__________6. Troposphere is the lowest part of the atmosphere.
__________7. Radio communications are often disrupted by sunspots activities where
electrons are plenty when sunspots are active.
__________8. Sunlight absorbed by the earth’s is changed into heat waves that make the
atmosphere warm.
__________9. Convection is the most efficient way of heating the atmosphere.
__________10. The principal reason for the major wind patterns is the uneven heating of
the equator and the poles.
__________11. Horse latitude is a region of hot air, low air pressure and calm.
__________12. Weather is the general condition of climate, particularly temperature and
precipitation, over a long period of time.
__________13. Altitude is a measure of distance north or south of the equator or 0o
altitude.
__________14. Cyclone is a condition of weather when the greatest wind speed near the
center is not more than 63 kph.
__________15. Wind from the ocean and a sea is the main source of energy of cyclones.
__________16. The atmosphere supplies the most of the oxygen needed by animals and
carbon dioxide needed by plants.
__________17. As an insulator, the atmosphere prevents extremes temperature by
maintaining livable levels in the heat budget of the earth.
__________18. The atmosphere serve as an equalizer that provides means whereby earth
systems reach the equilibrium in temperature, air pressure, transfer of heat energy and
moisture, and maintains moderation of the earth’s climate.
__________19. The earths early atmosphere was rich in Carbon dioxide and nitrogen, with
little significant amount of water vapor, carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
__________20. Gases are very light but cannot escape the earth because of the gravitational
force hold them down.
__________21.Direct rays give more energy than slanting rays because direct rays are
focused over a small area while slanting rays are spread over a larger area.
__________22. The earth is divided into five zones according to temperature.
__________23. The weight of air at any given place is called air pressure.
__________24. Cold air has more air molecules than hot air.
__________25.Corioleis force makes wind and water currents turn right in the north
hemisphere and left in the south hemisphere.
__________26. The weather radar contains plotted data of weather reports from thousands
of field stations throughout the world.
__________27. Rain, hail, sleet and snow are forms of condensation.
__________28. A rainbow is seen parallel to the sun.
__________29. El Nino is characterized by cold ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific.
__________30. Aquifers are the artificial lakes usually used to store fresh water.
