This document contains a long quiz on physical science concepts. It includes 9 multiple choice questions testing knowledge of topics like the most accepted theory of the formation of the universe, the four subsystems of Earth, what sphere rocks and minerals are found in, the definition of the solar system, the property of luster in minerals, what luster refers to, and a statement about mechanical weathering that is not true. It also includes short answer questions asking about the four Earth subsystems, the three types of rocks, how rocks are classified, why Earth's magnetic field is important, and the difference between exogenic and endogenic processes.
