A major world population problem is that countries which have very large populations and very high population growth rates are generally those which?

posses very limited natural resources

suffer serious industrial population

are located in climatically marginal areas

are least able to provide for the population Bonne réponse

Détails de la réponse

A major world population problem is that countries which have very large populations and very high population growth rates are generally those which are least able to provide for the population. This means that these countries are often struggling with issues such as poverty, unemployment, food shortages, and inadequate healthcare. The rapid increase in population further exacerbates these problems and makes it difficult for governments to provide basic services and infrastructure for their citizens. As a result, people living in these countries often have low standards of living and face many challenges in their daily lives.

the deterioration of city transport sytems

Détails de la réponse

Rapid urbanization in Nigeria has led to a negative consequence of the growth of slums. This means that as more people migrate from rural to urban areas, there is a higher demand for housing, leading to an increase in informal settlements and slums in cities. These slums are characterized by poor living conditions, lack of basic amenities, and overcrowding. They often lack proper sanitation, access to clean water, and basic healthcare services, leading to an increase in diseases and health problems. Additionally, rapid urbanization has also led to the deterioration of city transport systems, as the infrastructure struggles to keep up with the demands of the growing population.

Question 9 Rapport

Which of the following produces a continuous record of atmospheric pressure?

Mercury barometer

Barometer

Bonne réponse

Aneroid barometer

Altimeter

Détails de la réponse

An aneroid barometer produces a continuous record of atmospheric pressure. An aneroid barometer consists of a small, flexible metal box called an aneroid cell, which is made of a partially evacuated capsule. Changes in atmospheric pressure cause the capsule to expand or contract, which is then recorded by a needle on a dial. Unlike a mercury barometer, an aneroid barometer is portable and can be used to measure atmospheric pressure at different locations. Therefore, it is an ideal instrument for producing a continuous record of atmospheric pressure over a period of time.

Question 10 Rapport

The fertility of the soil in a typical tropical rainforest is maintained by the?

abundant sunshine and rainfall

wide variety of animals

abundant supply of litter Bonne réponse

relatively cool micro-climate

Détails de la réponse

The fertility of soil in tropical rainforests is maintained by the abundant supply of litter. The rainforest has a high level of biodiversity, and the decomposition of dead organic matter and the recycling of nutrients is critical to the ecosystem's health. The hot and wet climate of the rainforest allows for rapid decay of dead plant and animal material, creating a layer of organic matter on the forest floor called litter. This litter is rich in nutrients and is quickly absorbed by the roots of the vegetation, replenishing the soil with essential nutrients. As a result, the soil in tropical rainforests is incredibly fertile, making it an ideal environment for a diverse range of flora and fauna to thrive.

Détails de la réponse

The older fold mountains are much lower in elevation and less rugged than the younger ones largely because they have experienced a longer period of denudation. Denudation is the process of wearing away the surface of the Earth through the combined action of weathering, erosion, and transportation. Over time, the older mountains have been subjected to a longer period of these processes, resulting in their lower elevation and less rugged appearance compared to the younger fold mountains that have not been subjected to the same level of denudation.

Détails de la réponse

Based on the given information, it seems that the roads in the area shown on the map were constructed mainly to avoid steep gradients. This is because the roads appear to wind around the contours of the hills, rather than going straight up and down them. This would suggest that the engineers who designed the roads were trying to minimize the slope of the road in order to make it easier to travel on. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that the roads were constructed in this way to avoid steep gradients.

Question 23 Rapport

Which of these sets of features enhance the nucleation of settlements?

Route intersections and wet points Bonne réponse

Fertile broad plains and natural harbours

Narrow valleys and rugged highlands harbours

Dissected plains and route intersections

Détails de la réponse

The process of settlement nucleation refers to the development and clustering of settlements in a particular area. Certain features of the physical environment can enhance this process. Of the options provided, the set of features that enhance the nucleation of settlements are route intersections and wet points. Route intersections refer to locations where two or more routes (such as roads or footpaths) meet, making them important hubs for trade and transportation. Wet points refer to areas with a reliable source of water, which is essential for human settlement and agriculture. Both of these features make a location more attractive for settlement, as they provide essential resources and facilitate trade and communication. Settlements that develop at these locations can grow rapidly and become important centers of population and economic activity. Fertile broad plains and natural harbours can also enhance settlement nucleation, but to a lesser extent. Narrow valleys and rugged highlands may hinder settlement nucleation by limiting the amount of available land and making transportation more difficult. Dissected plains may also be less attractive for settlement as they are typically less fertile and more difficult to navigate. Therefore, of the options provided, the set of features that enhance the nucleation of settlements are route intersections and wet points.

All the following are forms of subsistence farming in west Africa except

rotational bush farming

permanent cultivation

plantation agriculture Bonne réponse

mixed farming

Détails de la réponse

Subsistence farming refers to a type of agriculture where farmers grow crops and rear animals for their own consumption rather than for sale. Rotational bush farming, permanent cultivation, and mixed farming are all forms of subsistence farming commonly practiced in West Africa. In rotational bush farming, farmers clear a section of the bush, cultivate it for a few years, and then move to another section while the former regenerates. Permanent cultivation involves cultivating a piece of land continuously without allowing it to regenerate or fallow. Mixed farming involves growing different crops and rearing animals in the same field to maximize yield and reduce risk. Plantation agriculture, on the other hand, is not a form of subsistence farming. It involves the large-scale cultivation of cash crops such as cocoa, coffee, rubber, and palm oil for export to other countries. Plantation agriculture requires large tracts of land, specialized equipment, and a ready market for the crops, which makes it difficult for subsistence farmers to engage in. Therefore, the correct answer is plantation agriculture.

the sorting action of the wind

wave action and longshore drift

Détails de la réponse

The stratification of sedimentary rocks is mainly caused by the deposition of rock particles in layers. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compaction of mineral and organic particles that settle on the earth's surface or at the bottom of water bodies. The layers of sedimentary rocks are formed by the gradual accumulation of these particles over time. As more particles settle, they bury the previous layer, and the pressure from the new layer causes the particles to compact and cement together, forming a solid rock. This process repeats over time, resulting in multiple layers of rocks with different characteristics, such as color, texture, and composition. Therefore, the stratification of sedimentary rocks is mainly due to the deposition of rock particles in layers.

Détails de la réponse

The most critical cause of desertification in Nigeria is excessive pressure of land use. This occurs when there is an overuse or exploitation of the land, leading to a reduction in vegetation cover, erosion, and ultimately, desertification. Examples of activities that contribute to excessive pressure of land use include overgrazing, deforestation, and improper agricultural practices such as continuous cultivation without adequate soil conservation measures. As a result, the land becomes less productive, and the ecosystem becomes vulnerable to desertification.

1:21

Détails de la réponse

To determine the approximate gradient of the slope marked L-K, we need to know the vertical rise and horizontal run of the slope. Since we don't have that information, we can estimate the gradient by using the average slope of the entire hillside. From the figure, we can see that the hillside rises from about 25m to 480m over a horizontal distance of about 1700m. Gradient = vertical rise / horizontal run Therefore, the gradient of the hillside is approximately (480-25)/1700 = 0.255. To estimate the gradient of the slope marked L-K, we can compare it to the average gradient of the hillside. From visual inspection, the slope marked L-K appears steeper than the rest of the hillside. Therefore, we can estimate the gradient of the slope marked L-K to be about 1:19.

Détails de la réponse

Broad-leaved evergreen trees, lianas, and epiphytes are commonly found in the tropical rainforest vegetation. The tropical rainforest has a high annual rainfall and high humidity, which provides a favorable environment for the growth of these types of plants. Broad-leaved evergreen trees are common in the tropical rainforest due to the warm and moist climate, while lianas use the trees as support to climb towards sunlight. Epiphytes are non-parasitic plants that grow on other plants, such as trees, and they obtain their nutrients from the air, rain, and debris that accumulate around them. Therefore, the correct answer is: Tropical rainforest.
