1. The document contains a summative test on Earth and life science for Jagnaya National High School students. 2. The test has three sections - multiple choice questions, modified true/false statements, and a short answer question about how hydrosphere and geosphere are involved in flooding. 3. The multiple choice and true/false questions cover topics like the composition of Earth's atmosphere, the percentage of Earth covered by water, the relationship between biosphere and other spheres, and characteristics that make Earth capable of supporting life.

II. MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE
Direction: Write your NAME if the statement is TRUE and change the underlined word/phrase if
the statement is wrong to make it correct. Write your answer on the space provided.
______________________1. Earth is the only planet in the solar system that has a large amount of
liquid water. About 60% of the surface of the Earth is covered by liquid
or frozen water.
_______________________2. Atmosphere serves as the Earth’s blanket. Its name rooted from the
Greek word almos which means gas and sphaira which means globe or
ball.
_______________________3. Biosphere is the zone of Earth where all forms of life exist: in the sea,
on land and in water.
_______________________4. Earth, Venus, and Mars may have similarities. They all are terrestrial
planets, made of solid rocks and silicates.
_______________________5. Earth is the only planet in the solar system that are known to contain
liquid in all three phases.
_______________________6. Atmosphere serves as the solid part of the Earth.
_______________________7. Any disturbance and interference in the flow of the matter and energy
does not affect any of the subsystems.
_______________________8. Earth is a dynamic entity with various separate but highly
interrelating subsystems.
_______________________9. Geosphere comprises the geologic landforms such as mountains and
hills.
_______________________10. The permanently frozen part of the hydrosphere is ionosphere.
III. Direction: Give a brief explanation about the statement below.
Why are hydrosphere and geosphere involved in the given scenario below?
“Flooding moves soil and rock to new places.”
