II. Process: CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE. Read the given questions below. Put these questions in mind
when you watch this i-Witness documentary intently from https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=yAwf_
PReKWQ, entitled "Sa Isang Paglalakbay". Focus on the interaction of the Earth's subsystems indirectly
illustrated in the documentary. Proceed to answer the questions briefly but concisely on the space
provided. Refer to the scoring rubric below when you write your answer.

III. Understanding: REASONING.
Recall the key concepts about the four subsystems of the Earth, and their interaction. Read the given
scenario carefully and answer the questions that follow.

You are a town leader. The town board has sent you the following case: A company would like to open in
your town. The company carries out industrial processes that involve the burning of fossil fuels.
The company would like to build its factories on a property adjacent to your town's agricultural area.
The board states that the factory would cause acid rain, and the subsequent destruction of crops.
The company however, states that the gases released will produce no harmful effects.

07. Would you recommend stoppage of the construction of the factories? Or would you rather
suggest continues construction and operation? (5 pts. x 2)

Justify your answer by discussing the possible harmful effects, or positive outcome of this interaction
among the subsystems of the Earth. Consider the rubric below when you write your answer.
