12. Which of these is NOT true about the Philippine islands?
a. most are part of the Philippine Mobile Belt, except for Palawan,
Mindoro, and Zamboanga
b. formed because of the convergence of the Philippine plate and the
Pacific plate
c. originated geologically in an oceanic-oceanic convergence
d. some are products of subduction process

13. Which of the following diagrams best illustrates the convection occurring in the mantle?

14.)
a. Volcano A c. Volcano C
b. Volcano B d. Volcano D
15. If all the inner layers of the Earth are firm solid, what could have happened to Pangaea?
a. It remained as a supercontinent. c. It would have become as it is today.
b. It would have slowly disappeared in the ocean. d. It would have stretched and covered the whole world.
16. What do you expect to find at a mid-ocean ridge?
a. relatively young rocks c. thick accumulation of sediments
b. reverse fault d. very ancient rocks
17. In a hotspot, Volcano A is on top of the mantle plume. Volcano B is 20 km farther from A. while Volcano C is the
farthest. What is true about the age of the volcanoes?
a. Volcano A is older than C c. Volcano B is the youngest
b. Volcano B is the oldest d. Volcano B is younger than C
18. Which is NOT true of the following statements below?
a. Mountain ranges are found in places where volcanoes and or earthquake epicenters are also located.
b. Earthquake epicenters and volcanoes are both situated at the same locations.
c. Volcanoes are randomly distributed. Majority of them are found at the middle of tectonic plates.
d. Geologic activities such as occurrence of earthquake, volcanism and mountain formation are the basis of scientists in
dividing the Earth’s lithosphere.
19. Which of the following is true of transform plate boundary?
a. It is where two plates are sliding past each other
b. Most transform faults are found on the ocean floor.
c. They commonly offset active spreading ridges, producing zigzag plate margins, and are generally defined by
shallow earthquakes.
