Practice Questions

Q1. A weather chart shows wind, clouds and rainfall. Which Earth component does it mainly help explain?

A Lithosphere
B Hydrosphere
C Atmosphere Correct
D Biosphere

Explanation

The atmosphere is the layer of air around Earth, and weather features such as wind, clouds and rainfall are studied there. The other choices are land, water and living things.

Q2. Which matching of force and result is correct?

A Internal force - only deposition of river sand
B Running water - is an internal force that suddenly folds rock layers
C Wind - forms mountains by heat and pressure inside Earth
D Earthquake - is an internal force that can suddenly shake land Correct

Explanation

An earthquake is an internal force because it comes from within Earth. Running water is an external force, so it does not fit the asked pair.

Q3. Consider the statements about the movement of rock material on Earth's surface. 1. Weathering breaks rock into smaller pieces at the same place. 2. Erosion carries those pieces away. 3. Deposition drops the carried material in a new place. 4. Folding can happen because of pressure inside Earth. Which option is correct?

A 1, 2, 3 and 4 are correct Correct
B Only 1, 2 and 3 are correct
C Only 2, 3 and 4 are correct
D Only 1 and 4 are correct

Explanation

All four statements are correct. Weathering, erosion, deposition and folding are different ways Earth surface material and rock layers can change.

Q4. A teacher wants learners to move beyond naming the four Earth components. Which classroom activity is most suitable?

A Use a four-sphere picture, ask learners to sort example cards, and then name one connection among the components. Correct
B Ask learners to memorize the definitions from the board.
C Ask learners to copy a long paragraph about earth science.
D Ask learners to draw only a rock sample and label it.

Explanation

A picture, sorting task and one connection among the components help learners move from naming to understanding. This matches the REET classroom focus on visual classification and interaction.

Q5. A teacher shows three rock samples and asks how each type usually forms at this level. Which set is correct?

A Igneous - layers of deposited sediments; Sedimentary - changed by heat and pressure; Metamorphic - cooled molten material
B Igneous - cooled molten material; Sedimentary - layers formed by deposition; Metamorphic - changed by heat and pressure Correct
C Igneous - compacted plant remains; Sedimentary - wind-carved landform; Metamorphic - deposited river layers
D Igneous - heat and pressure; Sedimentary - cooled molten material; Metamorphic - deposited sediments

Explanation

Igneous rocks form from cooled molten material, sedimentary rocks from deposited layers and metamorphic rocks from heat and pressure.
