II. TRUE OR FALSE

Instructions: Read the questions carefully and write CAPITAL letter G if the statement is true and
CAPITAL letter M if it is false at the space provided before each number. NO ERASURES. (20
points).
____1. Latitudes are also known as parallels while longitudes are termed as meridians. G
____2. The troposphere is the first layer above the surface and contains half of the Earth's
atmosphere and it is also where the weather occurs in this layer whereas stratosphere is the second
layer where many jet aircrafts fly in because it is very stable. Also, the ozone layer that absorbs
harmful rays from the sun lies in this layer. G
____3. A gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere caused by increased
levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants is called global warming while the
trapping of the sun's warmth in a planet's lower atmosphere, due to the greater transparency of the
atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the planet's
surface is called greenhouse effect. G
____4. The wind will blow from the higher pressure over the water to lower pressure over
the land causing the land breeze. At night, the roles reverse. The air over the ocean is now warmer
than the air over the land causing sea breeze. M
____5. Mountain and valley breezes form through a process similar to sea and land breezes. During
the day, the sun heats up mountain air rapidly while valley remains relatively cooler. Convection
causes it to rise, causing a valley breeze. At night, the process is reversed causing mountain breeze.
G
____6. When an object turns around an internal axis it is called a rotation. When an object circles an
external axis it is called a revolution.G
____7. A solar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Moon and the Sun, and the Earth's
shadow obscures the moon or a portion of it. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between
the Earth and the Sun, blocking all or a portion of the Sun.M
____8. The sounds of frequency less than 20Hz are called infrasonic while the sound of frequency
more than 20,000Hz are called ultrasonic. G
 ____9. In reflection, light ray falling on the plane returns to the same medium. Conversely,
in refraction, the ray falling on the plane travels from one medium to another. G
____10. Electricity and magnetism are essentially two aspects of the same thing, because a
changing electricfield creates a magnetic field, and a changing magnetic field creates an electric field.
