a car has a negative acceleration?
A. Slowing down
B. Speeding up
C. Turning out at a curve
D. Falling
19. When two tectonic plates collide, the oceanic crust usually subducts beneath the
continental crust because it is…
A. denser than continental crust.
B. less dense than continental crust.
C. thicker than continental crust.
D. thinner than continental crust.
24. The glowing tail of a meteor and that of a comet are different in that_____.
A. the glow of their tails is due to various sizes of dust particles in their tails.
B. the glow of the tail of a meteor is due to vaporizing ice while that of the
comet is due to oxygen.
C. the glow of the tail of a comet is illuminated by the sun while that of the
meteor is attributed to its burning gas as it goes through the atmosphere of
Earth.
D. the glow of the tail of a meteor is illuminated by the sun while that of the
comet is attributed to its burning as it goes through the atmosphere of Earth.
25. According to the Big Bang Theory, what happened to the singularity from which
the universe had started?
A. It expanded and decreased in temperature.
B. It exploded and decreased in pressure.
C. It shrank and increased in pressure.
D. It compressed and increased in temperature.
26. Which force dominated the universe during the Big Bang?

27. Alfred Lothar Wegener was a German polar researcher, geophysicist and
meteorologist who formulated the first complete statement where he put forth
the idea of "continental displacement" or what later was called continental drift.
What evidence did he use to support his hypothesis?
A. Sea Floor Spreading
B. Convection currents in the Mantle
C. The shape of Africa and South America
D. The speed at which the continents are moving
28. Continental drift was a theory that explained how continents shift position on
Earth's surface. This can be proven through the fit of the continents, pale climate
indicators, truncated geologic features, and fossils. How do fossils support this
claim?
A. Fossils can preserve an entire organism or just part of one.
B. Rocks containing remains of ancient organism are proof of existence of life
in a particular area.
C. Fossils of similar types of plants and animals in rocks of a similar age have
been found on the shores of different continents, suggesting that the
continents were once joined.
D. The movement of tectonic plates aids the transfer of fossils from one place
to another
29. How does the discovery of cosmic background radiation contributes in the field
of science?
A. Proved the ‘Big Bang’ theory to be correct.
B. Proved that all stars go through a life cycle.
C. Proved the Universe will continue to expand forever.
D. Provided more evidence to support the ‘Big Bang’ theory.
30. What evidence could you provide to prove the fact that light from a distant
galaxy seems to move towards the red end of the spectrum?
A. Galaxies are shrinking.
B. Galaxies are changing color.
C. The Universe is expanding.
D. Stars begin their life cycle.
