Answers

Here’s a complete set of answers based on the “Revision sheet [Link]” content:

QUESTION ONE

A) CHOOSE THE CORRECT ANSWER

1. Acid rain is formed when carbon dioxide mixes with rain.

👉 Correct answer: c. carbon dioxide


B) ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS

1. Explain why it might be useful to recognize signs of erosion?

It helps us understand how landscapes change, prevents damage to buildings and roads, and
protects soil and the environment.

2. What happens when oxygen reacts with iron inside rocks?

The iron oxidizes, forming rust, which weakens the rock and leads to chemical weathering.

QUESTION TWO

A) PUT (TRUE) OR (FALSE)

1. When you rub your hands thermal energy converts to kinetic energy → False

📝 It’s the opposite: kinetic energy (movement) converts to thermal energy (heat).
B) ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS

1. Complete

Examples of canyons are Grand Canyon and Copper Canyon.

2. Give reason: Tree roots growing inside of rocks is considered mechanical weathering.

Because the roots physically break the rocks apart as they grow, without changing the rock’s
chemical composition.

There is a change in energy when burning wood


Yes, chemical energy in wood changes into heat and light energy.

Biofuel is considered a renewable fuel

Because it comes from plant or animal materials that can be replaced quickly, unlike fossil fuels.

QUESTION THREE

A) PUT TRUE OR FALSE

1. Fossil fuels are used in electric generation. → True

B) ANSWER THE FOLLOWING

1. Write the scientific term:

A device used to change electric energy to light energy → Light bulb (or lamp)

2. What happens when sunlight falls on solar panels of Mars rover vehicle?

The solar panels convert sunlight into electrical energy to power the rover.

3. Give reason: We must conserve fossil fuels

Because they are non-renewable, take millions of years to form, and pollute the environment
when used.

QUESTION FOUR

A) WRITE THE SCIENTIFIC TERM

1. Energy is neither created nor destroyed but converted from one form to another → Law of
Conservation of Energy

B) ANSWER THE FOLLOWING

1. Compare between Canyons and Valleys

●​ Canyons are deep, narrow landforms with steep sides, usually formed by rivers cutting
through rock.​
●​ Valleys are broad, gently sloped landforms usually formed by river erosion or glacial
activity.​

2. a. What is the function of water dams?

To store water, control floods, and generate hydroelectric power.

b. What kind of energy do they produce?

Hydroelectric energy (a form of renewable electrical energy from water flow).
