If I close a terminal does it kill the processes inside of it?

Question

If I am in the middle of using the terminal, say to apt-get something;

If I click the x / close button, does the Terminal continue to run in the background?

enter image description here

To afraid to try it, cause I don't want to have to start the process all over again...

Has anyone accidentally done it?

No, the Terminal will be closed, then the bash process will terminate (because of SIGHUP), then apt-get will terminate in turn.
