I. Multiple Choice. Read and analyse the following questions. Choose the letter of the correct answer.
1. In which month does the Earth experience longer nighttime?
A. June B. March C. September D. December
2. Since the Earth is tilted, not all parts receive equal amount of heat. Which part of the Earth receives
direct rays from the sun?
A. Polar Region C. Northern Temperate Region
B. Equatorial Region D. Southern Temperate Region
3. Which has part of the Earth receives least amount of heat/energy?
A. Northern Temperate Region C. Polar Region
B. Southern Temperate Region D. Equatorial Region
4. Which of the flowing statement is true about the relationship between latitude and the amount of
heat/energy received by an area?
A. The lower the latitude of an area, the greater is the amount of energy it receives.
B. The lower the latitude of an area, the lesser is the amount of energy it receives.
C. The higher the latitude of an area, the greater is the amount of energy it receives.
D. All of the above.
5. It is the part of the Earth which receives relatively equal amount of solar energy throughout the year.
A. Northern Temperate Region C. Southern Temperate Region
B. Equatorial Region D. Polar Region
6. Which of the following will happen if daytime is longer than nighttime?
A. The time of heating up during the day will be shorter than the time of cooling down at night.
B. The time of heating up during the day will be longer than the time of cooling down at night.
C. The time of heating up during the day will be equal to the time of cooling down at night.
D. The time of heating up during the day will be not equal to the time of cooling down at night.
For question number 7 – 9, study the figure below.
7. Which hemisphere is tilted toward the sun?
A. Northern Hemisphere C. Western Hemisphere
B. Southern Hemisphere D. Eastern Hemisphere
8. Which hemisphere receives more heat?
A. Northern Hemisphere C. Western Hemisphere
B. Southern Hemisphere D. Eastern Hemisphere
9. Which hemisphere experiences longer nighttime?
A. Northern Hemisphere C. Western Hemisphere
B. Southern Hemisphere D. Eastern Hemisphere
10. Why summer is experienced in Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere in the
month of June?
A. It is because the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun.
B. It is because the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun.
C. It is because the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun.
D. None of these reasons
11. Which of the two (2) Hemispheres of the Earth experiences summer in December and winter in June?
A. Northern Hemisphere, since the Earth is tilted toward the Sun on June and December.
B. Northern Hemisphere, because it receives direct rays from the Sun in December and lesser in June.
C. Southern Hemisphere, because it receives direct rays from the Sun in December and lesser solar
energy in June.
D. Both southern and Northern Hemisphere, because they receive equal rays directed from the Sun in
December and June.
12. What will happen if daytime is shorter than nighttime?
A. The time of heating up during the day will be shorter than the time of cooling down at night.
B. The time of heating up during the day will be longer than the time of cooling down at night.
C. The time of heating up during the day will be equal to the time of cooling down at night.
D. The time of heating up during the day will be not equal to the time of cooling down at night.
13. How extent the Earth tilts?
A. 23.5o B. 24.5o C. 25.5o D. 26.5o
14. What is the effect of the tilting of the Earth?
A. Daytime when the Earth is tilted toward the Sun.
B. Nighttime when the Earth is tilted away the Sum.
C. The angle of the Sun Rays changes in the different land areas.
D. The Earth can be farther and nearer away from the Sun in the different times of the year.
Study the Figure below:
15. In the month of December, the North Pole is tilted away from the Sun. Which of the following
occurrences take place in the month of December?
A. Longer nighttime than daytime in the Northern Hemisphere.
B. Winter take place in the Northern Hemisphere because it receives lesser amount of energy than
Southern Hemisphere.
C. Summer in the Southern Hemisphere because it receives greater amount of energy than Northern
Hemisphere.
D. All of the Above
16. As the Earth revolves around the Sun, seasons change. Which of the following is the possible reason of
changing seasons all throughout the year?
A. Seasons change because of varying occurrence of sunspot.
B. Seasons change because of the 24-hour rotation of the Earth on its axis.
C. Seasons change because of the elliptical shape of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun.
D. Seasons change because of Earth’s axis tilted at 23.5 o and change its position as it revolved around
the Sun.
17. On December 21, daytime is longer in Southern Hemisphere and nighttime is longer in Northern
Hemisphere. After three months, at around March 21-23, the Earth would have travelled one quarter on
its orbit and the sun rays strikes perpendicular at the equator. Which of the following would likely to
happen?
A. Longer nighttime in the Southern Hemisphere
B. Longer daytime in the Northern Hemisphere
C. Equal time of day and night in both Northern and Southern Hemisphere
D. None of the mentioned occurrences will happen
18. Southern hemisphere experiences summer in December and winter in June. What is the possible reason
for these phenomena?
A. Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun in December.
B. Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun in June.
C. Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun in June and tilted toward in December.
D. Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere have receive the same amount of solar energy.
For numbers 19, study the figure below.
