Answer Details

To calculate the annual range of temperature, we need to find the difference between the highest and lowest temperature in the year. From the given table, we can see that the highest temperature is 30oC and the lowest temperature is 24oC. Therefore, the annual range of temperature is 30oC - 24oC = 6oC. Hence, the answer is: 6oC.

Question 11 Report

The most critical and variable element of weather in a tropical environment is?

potential evaporation

sunshine hours

temperature

rainfall

Answer Details

The most critical and variable element of weather in a tropical environment is rainfall. Rainfall is a measure of the amount of precipitation or water that falls from the atmosphere to the earth's surface. In tropical regions, rainfall can vary greatly from season to season, and even from day to day, making it a critical and highly variable element of weather. This is because tropical regions are characterized by a hot and humid climate, which creates ideal conditions for the formation of clouds and precipitation. In addition, rainfall is critical for sustaining agriculture and other forms of livelihood in many tropical regions, making it an important factor in the social and economic development of these areas.

carbon (iv) oxide

Answer Details

The most common greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is carbon (iv) oxide, also known as CO2. This gas is produced naturally through processes like respiration and volcanic activity, but also through human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. CO2 is a potent greenhouse gas, which means it traps heat from the sun in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.

Question 19 Report

Ocean currents flow in a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere but in an anticlockwise direction in he southern hemisphere because of the?

rotation of the earth from east to west

strong and more persistent winds in the southern hemisphere

company active currents in the northern hemisphere

rotation of the earth from west coast

Answer Details

Ocean currents flow in a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere but in an anticlockwise direction in the southern hemisphere because of the rotation of the earth from east to west. The Coriolis effect is a result of the earth's rotation and causes moving air and water to be deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere. This causes ocean currents to circulate in different directions depending on their location in the world. In the northern hemisphere, the deflection causes the currents to circulate in a clockwise direction, while in the southern hemisphere, it causes them to circulate in an anticlockwise direction.

Question 21 Report

Which of the following vegetation types is mainly confined to the Northern hemisphere?

Tropical Grassland

Equatorial Forest

Tundra

Desert

Answer Details

The vegetation type that is mainly confined to the Northern hemisphere is the Tundra. This is because the Tundra is characterized by cold and harsh climates, and is found at high latitudes in the Northern hemisphere, particularly in the Arctic regions. The Tundra is dominated by low-growing vegetation, such as mosses, lichens, and shrubs, and has a permafrost layer that prevents deep-rooted plants from growing. In contrast, the other vegetation types listed, such as Tropical Grassland, Equatorial Forest, and Desert, are found in various parts of the world, including both the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

Answer Details

The raw material for terylene is petroleum. Terylene is a type of polyester fiber, and it is made from purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and monoethylene glycol (MEG), both of which are derived from petroleum. The PTA and MEG are first reacted together to form a polymer, which is then extruded through spinnerets to create the terylene fibers. Terylene is commonly used in clothing, textiles, and packaging materials due to its strength, durability, and wrinkle-resistant properties.

Answer Details

Inselbergs are commonly associated with the basement complex geological formation in Nigeria. The basement complex is a formation of ancient rocks that underlie most of Nigeria and other countries in West Africa. It is characterized by resistant rocks that have withstood millions of years of erosion, resulting in the formation of inselbergs, which are steep-sided hills or mountains rising abruptly from a plain. Therefore, the correct answer is basement complex.

Answer Details

The Equatorial trough or low-pressure belt is commonly known as the "doldrums". The doldrums are characterized by calm, light winds, and unstable weather conditions due to the rising warm air that creates low pressure. It is located near the Equator and is also known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Ships in the past would often get stuck in the doldrums due to the lack of wind, which could lead to long delays in their voyages.

The correct answer is the "west coast of South Africa." Harsh desert conditions, such as extreme temperatures and low rainfall, make it difficult for human settlement and agriculture. The west coast of South Africa is dominated by the Namib Desert, which is one of the driest and hottest regions in the world. These harsh conditions have led to low population density in the area.

South-facing slopes are favourable for rural settlement locations in the cool temperate regions of the Northern hemisphere because they

offer good shelter from storms

Answer Details

South-facing slopes are favourable for rural settlement locations in the cool temperate regions of the Northern hemisphere because they receive more solar energy. In these regions, the sun's rays are at a low angle during the winter, and by placing settlements on south-facing slopes, they receive more direct sunlight, which helps to keep the area warm. This is particularly important in areas where winter temperatures can be very low. Additionally, south-facing slopes often have better soil quality and drainage, making them more agriculturally productive.

The difference in time between two longitudes is approximately?

Answer Details

The difference in time between two longitudes is approximately 4 minutes. Longitudes are imaginary lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole and are used to measure distances east or west of the Prime Meridian, which is located in Greenwich, England. There are 360 degrees of longitude, and the Earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, so each degree of longitude corresponds to a time difference of 1/24th of a day, which is approximately 4 minutes. This means that for every degree of longitude that you travel east or west, the time will change by approximately 4 minutes.

Answer Details

Trees in the coniferous forest are noted for their needle leaves and softwood. Coniferous forests, also known as taiga or boreal forests, are characterized by their long, cold winters and short, cool summers. The trees in these forests have adapted to these harsh conditions by growing needle-like leaves that can survive the extreme temperatures and dryness. The needles also have a waxy coating that helps prevent water loss. The trees in the coniferous forest are also known for their softwood, which is used for a variety of purposes such as construction, paper production, and furniture making.

The most important effect of migration on population is?

high mortality

redistribution

Answer Details

The most important effect of migration on population is "redistribution". Migration refers to the movement of people from one place to another, either within the same country or across different countries. As people move from one place to another, the population in the destination area increases, while the population in the place of origin decreases. This results in the redistribution of the population, with some areas becoming more densely populated while others become less populated. The impact of migration on the population is significant because it can lead to changes in the social, economic, and political landscape of the destination area.
