Science Mind Challenge Quarter 3

This style of eruption is characterized by fountain lava

• phreatic

• strombolian

• phreatomagmatic

• vulcanian

Which of the following factors is associated with huge volcanic eruptions that may cause a decrease in the Earth’s average temperature for a few years?

• acid rain

• lahar

• volcanic ash

• lava

Volcanoes erupt because of:

• The Earth is getting overheated.

• The pressure in the earth forcing the hot rocks through a crack.

• The increase in the world’s average temperature

• The earthquake happened nearby

The source of this energy is the heat from the Earth’s interior.

• nuclear

• solar

• geothermal

• hydrothermal

Below are problems associated with geothermal energy plants except:

• Possible land erosion

• Minerals will dissolve

• The natural landscape of a place is destroyed

• All of the above

Except for geothermal energy, this is the other source of energy used in the Philippines.

• coal

• hydropower

• natural gas

• All of the above

Baguio City experiences a cold climate. What factor affects its climate?

• latitude

• altitude

• topography

• near bodies of water

When warm ocean currents that take along warm water go to a land mass, the temperature of that place

• Increases

• Decreases

• Remains the same

• Nothing happened

Why do places at the same latitude but different altitudes have different climates?

• Amount of heat receives.

• Amount of precipitation differs.

• Higher altitudes have lower temperatures

• AHigher altitudes have higher temperature

Why does the cloud formation disappear as the air moves slowly towards the leeward side of the mountain?

• The air condenses as it moves to the leeward side.

• The temperature becomes lower.

• There is too much water temperature.

• The amount of water vapor is not enough.
