Question 3 Report

The temperature at which condensation occurs when air is saturated is the?

freezing point

dew point

atmospheric point

boiling point

Answer Details

The temperature at which condensation occurs when air is saturated is the dew point. When air is fully saturated, it can no longer hold water vapor and some of the water vapor turns into liquid droplets. This process is known as condensation. The temperature at which this occurs is called the dew point temperature. It is the temperature to which air must be cooled, at constant pressure, for it to become saturated and for condensation to occur. At the dew point temperature, the air becomes saturated with water vapor and any additional cooling will result in the formation of dew, fog, or frost.

Question 8 Report

The main process of soil formation in humid tropics is?

podzolization

calcification

laterization

salinization

Answer Details

The main process of soil formation in humid tropics is laterization. Laterization occurs when soil is subjected to high temperatures and heavy rainfall over a long period of time. This process results in the leaching of important nutrients from the soil, leaving behind a soil that is rich in iron and aluminum oxides. These oxides give the soil its characteristic red or yellow color. The soil becomes hardened and compacted, and its ability to retain water is greatly reduced. This makes it difficult for plants to grow, and often leads to the formation of dense tropical rainforest ecosystems.

Which of the following is a product of volcanicity?

Plug dome

Ocean trench

Fold mountain

Rift valley lake

Answer Details

A plug dome is a product of volcanicity. It is formed when magma that is rich in gas is squeezed out of a volcano and solidifies near the vent. The gas bubbles inside the magma cause it to be more viscous and sticky, which makes it pile up into a dome-shaped plug. As more magma is forced up from below, the plug can grow larger and larger until it eventually explodes, releasing ash, gas, and other volcanic materials. Plug domes are common features of stratovolcanoes, which are tall and steep volcanoes that are built up over time by successive eruptions of lava, ash, and other volcanic materials.

The major primary activity in a coniferous forest is?

paper manufacturing

lumbering

hunting

furniture making

Answer Details

The major primary activity in a coniferous forest is lumbering. Coniferous forests, also known as taiga or boreal forests, are dominated by cone-bearing trees such as pine, spruce, and fir. These trees are a valuable source of timber, which is used for a wide range of purposes including construction, furniture making, and paper manufacturing. Lumbering involves the cutting and harvesting of trees for commercial use. In a coniferous forest, this typically involves clearcutting, which is the removal of all trees in a given area. Once the trees have been felled, they are typically transported to sawmills for processing into lumber. While lumbering is the primary activity in a coniferous forest, other activities such as hunting and fishing may also take place. However, these are generally secondary activities that are pursued by local communities or recreational users, rather than commercial enterprises. Overall, the value of coniferous forests as a source of timber has made lumbering the dominant economic activity in many areas, particularly in regions where other primary activities such as agriculture or mining are less feasible. However, sustainable management practices are needed to ensure that these forests continue to provide valuable resources while also preserving their ecological and cultural significance.

The main factor that is responsible for the relatively cool temperatures in East Africa is?

ocean current

latitude

altitude

air mass

Answer Details

The main factor that is responsible for the relatively cool temperatures in East Africa is altitude. As the altitude increases, the temperature decreases. This is because the higher up in the atmosphere you go, the thinner the air becomes and the less heat it can trap. East Africa has a lot of high-altitude regions, such as the Ethiopian Highlands and the Kenyan Highlands, which can reach elevations of over 4,000 meters (13,000 feet) above sea level. As a result, these regions experience cooler temperatures compared to lower-lying areas at the same latitude. While factors such as ocean currents, latitude, and air masses can also affect temperature, altitude is the primary factor responsible for the relatively cool temperatures in East Africa.

The state in Nigeria most vulnerable to drought and desertification is?

Kaduna

Niger

Adamawa

Yobe

Answer Details

The state in Nigeria most vulnerable to drought and desertification is Yobe. Yobe is located in the northeastern region of Nigeria, and its climate is mostly hot and dry with very little rainfall. This makes it vulnerable to drought and desertification, which is the process by which fertile land turns into desert due to a lack of water and overuse of the land. The combination of low rainfall, high temperatures, and overgrazing has led to the desertification of large areas of land in Yobe. This has had a significant impact on the livelihoods of the people living in the state, as it has made it difficult for them to grow crops and raise livestock. Efforts are being made to combat desertification in Yobe and other parts of Nigeria through reforestation, irrigation projects, and sustainable land use practices. However, the state remains one of the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change and desertification in Nigeria.

Whats is the birth rate of a country with total population of 160 million and registered births of 4 million in a given year?

0.25%

2.50%

3.00%

5.00%

Answer Details

The birth rate of a country is the number of live births per 1,000 people in a population in a given year. To calculate the birth rate, we divide the number of registered births by the total population and multiply by 1,000. In this case, the total population is 160 million, and the number of registered births is 4 million. Birth rate = (Number of registered births / Total population) x 1,000 Birth rate = (4,000,000 / 160,000,000) x 1,000 Birth rate = 25 per 1,000 Therefore, the birth rate of the country is 2.5%.

The rotation of the earth on its own axis result in?

the four seasons

varying lengths of day and night at different times of the year

changes in the altitude of the midday sun at different times of the year

day and night

Answer Details

The rotation of the earth on its own axis is the reason for day and night. As the earth rotates, half of it is facing towards the sun (daytime) while the other half is facing away from the sun (nighttime). This rotation takes approximately 24 hours to complete, resulting in the familiar pattern of day and night that we experience every day. The varying lengths of day and night at different times of the year and the changes in the altitude of the midday sun at different times of the year are caused by the tilt of the earth's axis and its orbit around the sun, not just its rotation on its axis. The four seasons are also a result of this tilt and orbit.

A major physical factor restricting the cultivation of perennial crops in the Sudan savannah of Nigeria is the?

seasonal regime of the streams

menace of pest

seasonal pattern of rainfall

sandy nature of the soil

Answer Details

A major physical factor restricting the cultivation of perennial crops in the Sudan savannah of Nigeria is the seasonal pattern of rainfall. The Sudan savannah region of Nigeria experiences a distinct wet and dry season. During the wet season, there is plenty of rainfall, which can be favorable for crop growth. However, during the dry season, there is little to no rainfall, making it difficult for perennial crops to survive. Perennial crops, such as trees, have deep root systems that require a constant supply of water. In the Sudan savannah, the soil also tends to be sandy, which can exacerbate the problem of water retention. As a result, it is difficult to cultivate perennial crops in this region without irrigation or other water management strategies. While factors such as seasonal regime of streams and pest menace can also affect crop cultivation, the seasonal pattern of rainfall is the major physical factor that restricts the cultivation of perennial crops in the Sudan savannah of Nigeria.
