Question

7. Where does the quartz in granite typically end up? A. Quartz does not weather and so it keeps the granite from weathering B. As small clay minerals that are deposited in lakes and the sea C It is converted into feldspar and weather into clays D. It ends up as sand in rivers, dunes, and beaches 8. The permeability of a material refers to: A. The volume of air space in a material B. The ease with which a steam erodes material A meandering streams movement across the underlying bedrock D. The ability of water to flow through a material 9. Which of the following factors is typically NOT used to classify slope failures? A. The climate in which the failure occurs B. The rate of movement C. The mechanism by which material moves D. Whether the material involved is rock or is unconsolidated 10, which of the following energy sources drives the hydrologic cycle? A. Internal heat energy B. Wind energy C. Gravity D. River flow E. Solar energy 11. What is the main reason why the oceans are salty? A. The early oceans were salty because comets are dirty snowballs B. Blowing salt crystals become incorporated into clouds and falls with the rainfall C. weathering of rocks releases chemical elements that make the oceans salty D. Salt deposits that formed early in Earths history become dissolved by modern oceans 12. Which of the following is a correctly described part of the hydrologic cycle? A. Raindrops form through the process of evaporation B. Precipitation refers to minerals coating sand grains with natural cement C. Most groundwater forms when water on the surface infiltrates into the ground D. Movement of water is restricted to rainfall and rivers E. None of these 13. The tropics are regions characterized by: A. High pressure air masses that rise and cause abundant precipitation B. Low pressure air masses that rise and cause abundant precipitation c. Low pressure air masses that descend, limiting the amount of precipitation D. High pressure air masses that descend, limiting the amount of precipitation E. None of these

Explanation / Answer

ans 7) option d-It ends up as sand in rivers, dunes and beaches.

ans 8) option d- The ability of water to flow through the material

permeability means the state of or quality of being permeable.

ans 9 ) option a- The climate in which the failure occur

except for this all other factors are accounted to classify slope failures

ans10) option E - solar energy

solar energy drives the cycle by evaporating water
