9. The eruption of Taal Volcano in Batangas, Philippines on January 12, 2020, was a phreatomagmatic eruption from its main crater that spewed ashes across Calabarzon, Metro Manila, and some parts of Central Luzon and Ilocos Region, resulting in the suspension of school classes, work schedules, and flights in the area. What subsystem started this natural calamity?

A. Atmosphere

B. Geosphere

C. Biosphere

D. Hydrosphere

10. Cryosphere is the permanently frozen parts of the Earth. It is an important part of our water cycle. Ice locks water out of the cycle for long periods of time – with large-scale melting, a vast amount of water can be released back into the water cycle in a relatively short amount of time. Unsurprisingly, water from the current cryosphere melt is contributing to global sea level rise. How can this phenomenon affect another subsystem?

A. Thawing permafrost and the potential for enhanced natural emissions of carbon dioxide and methane to the atmosphere

B. Shrinking of mountain glaciers and large ice sheets with consequent sea level rise and impacts on water resources.

C. Declining coverage of sea ice and snow, which will affect marine and ground transportation across the Arctic.

D. Thousands of square miles of snow and accumulation of ice.

11. Which of the following is not a characteristic of a mineral?

A. They are soluble and organic materials.

12. Which of the following are the characteristics of minerals?

A. Acidity, composition, solubility, structure, weight

B. Brightness, color density, weight, Volume

C. Color, cleavage, hardness, luster, streak

D. Mass, specific gravity, surface quality, taste

14. How are metamorphic rocks formed?
