Page 1 NS2-M3C13 - The Moon (Exam) Name:______________________________ 1 Approximately how big is Earth’s moon as compared to Earth? A B C D 2 Maria Maria Maria Maria appear appear appear appear lighter darker purple in color yellow in color Which one of the following are similar to shallow, flat-bottomed riverbeds on Earth? A B C D 5 27 1/3 days 24 hours 25 days The moon does not rotate on its axis. How can you tell the difference between maria and craters when viewing the Moon through a telescope? A B C D 4 1/2 the size 2/3 the size 1/3 the size They are about the same size. The moon circles the Earth every 27 1/3 days. How long does it take the moon to make a full rotation on its own axis? A B C D 3 Date:_______________________________ regolith breccia rilles craters Read the following sentence and decide which of the options (A-D) is correct. Apollo 13 landed the first humans on the Moon with Americans Lance Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in 1969. (Input all that apply, then push the ENTER button.) A B C D Change “Buzz Aldrin” to “Buzz Aldrich” Change “Lance Armstrong” to “Neil Armstrong” Change “13” to “11” There are no changes needed. NS2-M3C13 - The Moon (Exam) 6 The cup shaped depression or cavity on the surface of the Earth or other heavenly bodies. A B C 7 Impact Crater Planetshine Phases of the Moon The obstruction of the light of the Moon by the intervention of the Earth between it and the Sun. A B C D 11 Wax Regolith Gibbous Sometimes the new moon is faintly visible by day, because its otherwise dark night side is illuminated by reflected Earthlight. A B C 10 Phases (of the Moon) Eclipse Impact Crater Convex at both edges, as the Moon when more than half full. A B C 9 Gibbous Maria Impact Crater The Moon’s motion in its orbit (progressive changes in the visible portion of the Moon). A B C 8 Page 2 Eclipse (Lunar) Phases of the Moon Planetshine Impact Crater What are the relative positions of the Moon, Earth and Sun during a full Moon? A B C D The Earth is between the Moon and the Sun The Earth and the Sun are equal distances from the Moon The Moon is between the Earth and the Sun None of the above are correct. NS2-M3C13 - The Moon (Exam) 12 Which of the following statements is FALSE concerning the maria on the Moon? A B C D E 13 What are tektites? A B C D 14 B C D E Visible starlight is roughly the same on the surface of the Moon as on the surface of the Earth. The Moon is roughly one-quarter the size of Earth. The Moon circles the Earth once every 30 days. The Moon is iron-poor. All of the above are true. How are moonquakes and earthquakes different? A B C D 16 People who role-play that they on a cast member of the TV show Star Trek. Tiny glass spheres no larger than sand granules found on the surface of the Moon. Broken rocks from the impact of meteorites on the Moon. Rocks that were once molten but later became solidified. Which of the following statements about the Moon is TRUE? A 15 They are younger than the rest of the Moon. They cover up older craters. Some maria have definite magnetic fields. All of the above are false. None of the above are false. Moonquakes can't be measured like earthquakes, using seismometers. Earthquakes are local events whereas moonquakes cause the whole Moon to vibrate. Earthquakes are much stronger than moonquakes. There is no significant difference between earthquakes and moonquakes. Erosion on the moon is due to A B C D E Rain Wind A&B Breccia and atomic particles from the Sun A&D Page 3 NS2-M3C13 - The Moon (Exam) 17 The so-called "seas" on the Moon are A B C 18 The Moon has no atmosphere. Thus there is A B C 19 no gradual daily temperature change from hot to cold. no daily temperature change at all. a gradual daily temperature change from hot to cold. Which of the following is NOT a true statement? A B C D 20 the maria, which actually are plains carved with lava or volcanic ash. lunar spots caused by cooler concentrations of hydrogen suspended in the cosmos. the mare or maria, which really are areas of water vapor in suspension. Modern maps of the Earth were more complete than maps of the lunar surface prior to the Apollo expeditions. Astronomical laboratories and observatories on the Moon would be able to probe greater distances into space than would astronomical laboratories and observatories on the Earth. The mapping and study of our own Earth and its atmosphere from Moon and space satellites would lend more accuracy to our current geographical and meteorological information. All are true statements. How many miles (in diameter) is the largest crater on the near side of the Moon?
