The most suitable statistical diagram to show spatial distribution of production is the

dot map

Correct answer

pie chart

divided circle

line graph

Answer Details

The most suitable statistical diagram to show spatial distribution of production is a dot map. A dot map is a type of map that uses dots to represent the quantity or density of a particular feature across a geographic area. In the case of production data, each dot can represent a certain amount of production, and the density of the dots can show areas with high or low production levels. This allows for a clear visual representation of where production is concentrated and where it is less prominent. Pie charts, divided circles, and line graphs are not suitable for showing spatial distribution of production. A pie chart is used to show proportions of a whole, while a divided circle is similar to a pie chart but is divided into more than one category. These charts are best suited for displaying data where the whole is made up of distinct categories, rather than for geographic data. A line graph, on the other hand, is used to show trends over time, and is not well-suited for displaying spatial data.

A desert country which has high population density supported by irrigation is

Sudan

Egypt Correct answer

Kuwait

Namibia

Answer Details

The desert country with high population density supported by irrigation is Egypt. Egypt is located in the northeastern part of Africa and is mostly covered by the Sahara desert. Despite the desert conditions, Egypt has a high population density due to the Nile river that runs through the country. The Nile river provides water for irrigation, which has allowed for the cultivation of crops and supported the growth of a population in what would otherwise be an uninhabitable region. The ancient Egyptians were able to take advantage of the Nile's seasonal floods and develop a complex system of canals and irrigation to grow crops. Today, modern irrigation techniques have allowed Egypt to continue to support a high population density and grow crops such as wheat, cotton, and fruits.

The process by which organic matter is decomposed and synthesized to form part of the soil is known as

mineralization

nitrification

humification Correct answer

laterization

Answer Details

The process by which organic matter is decomposed and synthesized to form part of the soil is known as humification. Humification is the process by which organic matter, such as dead plant material or animal waste, is broken down into simpler organic compounds by microorganisms in the soil. These simpler compounds are then combined and restructured into more complex organic molecules known as humus. Humus is a dark, organic material that is an essential component of healthy soil. It helps to retain water and nutrients, improves soil structure, and supports the growth of plants. Humification is an important part of the natural cycle of nutrient recycling in ecosystems, as it returns nutrients back to the soil for future plant growth.

15°W

60°W

15°E Correct answer

60°E

Answer Details

The standard time of a country is determined by the longitude of its location on the Earth. A time zone is a region that has the same standard time, and time zones are typically defined as an offset from the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). In this case, the country has a standard time of GMT + 1 hour, which means it is one hour ahead of the UTC. The longitude that corresponds to this time zone is the one located 15° east of the Prime Meridian, which runs from the North Pole to the South Pole and passes through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, England. So, the local time adopted by the country is 15°E.

In surveying, the prismatic compass is used to

measure accurately, height of points

obtain bearings of features Correct answer

measure horizontal distances

measure the inclination of features

Answer Details

In surveying, the prismatic compass is primarily used to obtain bearings of features. It is a type of compass that has a prism attached to it, which allows the user to simultaneously see the compass needle and the object being sighted through the prism. By aligning the compass with the object and reading the bearing, the prismatic compass can determine the direction or angle of the object relative to magnetic north. This information is crucial for creating accurate maps and plans, as well as for navigating and orienting oneself in the field. While a prismatic compass may be capable of measuring other factors, such as horizontal distances or inclinations, its primary function is to obtain bearings of features.

Answer Details

Urban and rural settlements are differentiated by their function and location. Urban settlements are typically characterized by a high population density and a high level of economic and social activity. They are usually located in or near large cities and serve as centers of commerce, industry, and culture. Urban areas often have a diverse range of amenities and services, including shops, restaurants, entertainment venues, and public transportation. Rural settlements, on the other hand, are typically characterized by a lower population density and a lower level of economic and social activity. They are often located in more remote or isolated areas and serve primarily as centers of agricultural activity. Rural areas may have fewer amenities and services than urban areas, but they often offer a quieter and more natural way of life. In summary, the main differences between urban and rural settlements lie in their function and location. Urban areas are characterized by high population density and a diverse range of economic and social activity, while rural areas are characterized by lower population density and a focus on agricultural activity.

The Stevenson's screen is raised about one meter above the ground in order to avoid

the influence of strong winds

the heat from the ground Correct answer

the effects of nearby trees

rain drops entering it

Answer Details

The Stevenson's screen is a box used to house weather instruments that measure temperature, humidity, and other meteorological variables. It is raised about one meter above the ground to avoid the heat from the ground. When the screen is placed on the ground, it can absorb and radiate heat from the ground, which can affect the accuracy of temperature measurements. By raising it one meter above the ground, the screen is more exposed to the free atmosphere and less affected by the heat from the ground. Additionally, raising the screen helps to reduce the impact of raindrops entering the instruments during heavy rainfall. The height also helps to avoid the effects of nearby trees and other obstacles that could affect wind flow around the instruments and affect the measurements. Therefore, the main reason for raising the Stevenson's screen one meter above the ground is to ensure that the weather instruments inside are measuring the temperature and other meteorological variables accurately and without interference from external factors.

Soil texture is determined primarily by

particle sizes Correct answer

profile horizons

major components

nutrient status

Answer Details

Soil texture is primarily determined by the particle sizes of the mineral components in the soil. These mineral particles can range in size from large rocks to tiny clay particles. The three main particle size classes that determine soil texture are sand, silt, and clay. Sand particles are the largest, ranging in size from 0.05 to 2.0 millimeters. Silt particles are smaller, ranging from 0.002 to 0.05 millimeters. Clay particles are the smallest, less than 0.002 millimeters in size. The proportion of these particle sizes in the soil determines its texture. Soil texture is an important factor that affects many soil properties, including water-holding capacity, drainage, nutrient availability, and the ability of roots to grow. Soil texture is also used as a basis for soil classification, with different textures having different names, such as sandy loam, clay loam, and silty clay.

The best technique to prevent soil erosion in a humid, gently sloping area is to adopt

contour ridging Correct answer

terrace cultivation

intercropping

wind breakers

Answer Details

The best technique to prevent soil erosion in a humid, gently sloping area is contour ridging. Contour ridging involves creating ridges that run along the contour lines of the slope, which helps to slow down the flow of water across the surface of the soil. This technique helps to trap water, reduce its speed, and allow it to penetrate into the soil. By reducing the speed of water, contour ridging also helps to reduce the amount of soil that is carried away by the water, which reduces erosion. Terrace cultivation and intercropping can also be effective techniques for reducing erosion, but they are generally better suited to steeper slopes. Wind breakers can help to reduce erosion caused by wind, but they are not as effective for preventing erosion caused by water. In summary, contour ridging is the best technique for preventing soil erosion in a humid, gently sloping area because it helps to slow down the flow of water and reduce erosion, and it is well-suited to this type of terrain.

Answer Details

The climate described, with a long wet season of up to 10 months, high annual rainfall of 3000mm, and a mean monthly temperature of at least 26°, is most likely a tropical monsoon climate (Am). Tropical monsoon climates are characterized by a distinct dry season and a long, wet season, with most of the precipitation falling during the wet season. The mean monthly temperature in this climate is high, generally above 18°C, and typically exceeds 26°C during the wet season. In contrast, tropical humid (Af) climates are characterized by a year-round high rainfall, with no distinct dry season, and mean monthly temperatures generally above 18°C. Tropical wet and dry (Aw) climates have distinct dry and wet seasons, with the dry season lasting longer than in the monsoon climate. Warm humid subtropical (Cfa) climates have hot summers and cool winters, with precipitation distributed throughout the year. These climates are found in the subtropics and have a mean temperature of at least 10°C in the coldest month.

In river transport, the problem of irregular levels of water can be overcome by

controlling the current

building locks and canals Correct answer

changing the direction of flow

clearing the river of water weeds

Answer Details

One way to overcome the problem of irregular levels of water in river transport is by building locks and canals. Locks are structures that allow boats and ships to pass from one water level to another. They work by closing and filling with water, which raises or lowers the water level inside the lock to match the water level on the other side. This allows boats and ships to safely navigate through areas where the water level is different. Canals, on the other hand, are man-made waterways that are built to connect two waterways or to bypass a stretch of river with difficult navigational conditions. By providing a controlled and stable water environment, locks and canals can greatly improve the reliability and efficiency of river transport.

Answer Details

A river that enters the sea at a gently inclined costal plain where tidal waves are weak will most likely develop into a delta. A delta is a landform that is formed when a river deposits sediment at its mouth where it meets the sea. The sediment builds up over time, creating a triangular-shaped area that extends into the sea. The gently inclined costal plain and weak tidal waves allow the sediment to accumulate and build up the delta over time. This process can lead to the creation of new land, making the delta a valuable area for agriculture and human settlement.

If M is due west of station N, the bearing of M from N is

180°

270° Correct answer

90°

360°

Answer Details

If M is due west of station N, it means that M is directly to the left of N when you are facing North. In terms of bearings, due west corresponds to a bearing of 270°. To understand why, imagine standing at station N and facing North. You can think of bearings as angles measured in a clockwise direction from North. A bearing of 0° would correspond to due North, a bearing of 90° would correspond to due East, and so on. Since M is due west, it is directly to your left when you are facing North, which means it is 90 degrees to your left. If you add 90° to the 180° bearing of due South, you get 270°, which is the bearing of M from N. So, the correct answer is 270°.

An example of a landform produced by glaciation is

horizon

an ox-bow lake

a cirque Correct answer

a sand-dune

Answer Details

A cirque is an example of a landform produced by glaciation. A cirque is a bowl-shaped depression on a mountainside with steep walls formed by glacial erosion. As a glacier moves down a mountain, it erodes the bedrock through a combination of abrasion and plucking. Abrasion occurs when the glacier grinds against the bedrock and wears it away, while plucking occurs when the glacier freezes onto the bedrock and pulls it away as the glacier moves downhill. Over time, this erosion can form a deep, steep-sided hollow or cirque on the mountainside. Cirques are often the starting point for the formation of other glacial landforms, such as u-shaped valleys and horn peaks. As a glacier continues to erode the mountainside, it can deepen and widen the cirque, creating a u-shaped valley. If multiple glaciers erode back-to-back cirques on a single mountain, it can leave behind a horn peak or a jagged, triangular peak at the mountain summit. Overall, cirques are a classic example of a landform produced by the slow, powerful forces of glaciation.
