Ganymede is a lecture in the astrogeology series about rocky objects.

You are free to take this quiz based on the Ganymede at any time.

To improve your score, read and study the lecture, the links contained within, listed under See also, External links, and in the or  templates. This should give you adequate background to get 100 %.

As a "learning by doing" resource, this quiz helps you to assess your knowledge and understanding of the information, and it is a quiz you may take over and over as a learning resource to improve your knowledge, understanding, test-taking skills, and your score.

Suggestion: Have the lecture available in a separate window.

To master the information and use only your memory while taking the quiz, try rewriting the information from more familiar points of view, or be creative with association.

Enjoy learning by doing!

Quiz
{True or False, The leading hemisphere is the hemisphere away from the direction of the orbital motion; the trailing hemisphere faces the reverse direction. - TRUE + FALSE
 * type=""}

{The cryosphere of Ganymede is likely to include which of the following? + water ice + sea ice - rain - lake ice - river ice - snow cover - glaciers + ice caps - ice sheets + frost
 * type="[]"}

{The science of the behavior of frozen snow is called { cryopediology (i) }
 * type="{}"}

{Chemistry phenomena associated with Ganymede are + water - carbon dioxide - organic compounds + silicates + ozone - O2
 * type="[]"}

{Complete the text: Ganymede has a very { distinct (i) } surface with bright and { dark (i) } regions. The surface includes { mountains (i) }, valleys, craters and { lava (i) } flows.
 * type="{}"}

{Complete the text: Match up the astroglacial object with each of the possibilities below: ice cap - A optical characteristics of sediment suspensions - B water in solid form - C behavior of frozen snow - D ice sheets - E polar ice caps - F cryopediology { D (i) }. lake Veitastrondsvatn { B (i) }. Ganymede { F (i) }. cryosphere { C (i) }. Antarctica and Greenland { E (i) } Vatnajökull, Iceland { A (i) }.
 * type="{}"}

{Complete the text: Match up the object with the image: Callisto - A Vatnajökull, Iceland - B the Cryosphere of Earth - C Antarctica - D Ganymede - E Europa - F { D (i) }. { A (i) }. { F (i) }. { C (i) }. { E (i) } { B (i) }.
 * type="{}"}

{Which of the following is not an astronomical cryosphere? - Vatnajökull, Iceland - the last ice sheets in Europe and North America - the cryosphere of Ganymede + the photosphere - frozen snow - ice sheets are in Antarctica and Greenland
 * type=""}

{True or False, During the last glacial period of Ganymede the Wisconsin period ice sheet covered much of Enki Catena. - TRUE + FALSE
 * type=""}

{Which of the following is not an astronomical characteristic of ice? - an albedo as high as 80% - thin water frost deposits - ice knobs + tidal heating events - surface is composed of water ice and is one of the smoothest in the Solar System - the bright terrain on the surface of Ganymede
 * type=""}

{ Yes or No, The tidal flexing of the ice on Ganymede may have heated the interior and strained the lithosphere, leading to the development of cracks and horst and graben faulting, which erased the old, dark terrain on 70% of the surface? + No - Yes
 * type=""}

Hypotheses

 * 1) There are volcanoes on Ganymede.
