What is the approximate distance between two places if one is located on 11oN and the other on 5oS on the same longitude?
Bayanin Amsa
To calculate the distance between two places on the same longitude, we need to find the length of the arc of the Earth's circumference between the two latitudes. The Earth's circumference is approximately 40,000 km. Therefore, each degree of latitude represents approximately 40,000 km/360 = 111.11 km. The distance between 11°N and 5°S is equal to the sum of the distance between the equator and 11°N plus the distance between the equator and 5°S. The distance between the equator and 11°N is 11° x 111.11 km/degree = 1,222.21 km. The distance between the equator and 5°S is 5° x 111.11 km/degree = 555.55 km. Therefore, the total distance between the two places is 1,222.21 km + 555.55 km = 1,777.76 km. Therefore, the answer is closest to 1,776 km.

Which of the following modes of transportation provides door-to-door services?
Bayanin Amsa
Road transport provides door-to-door services. This is because road transport can reach almost any location, including remote areas and neighborhoods, and can deliver goods or people directly to their final destination. On the other hand, rail transport, ocean transport, and air transport typically require additional modes of transportation, such as trucks or buses, to reach their final destination. Therefore, among the given options, road transport is the only mode that provides door-to-door services.

Which of the following is the most important weathering process in Karst regions?
Bayanin Amsa
The most important weathering process in Karst regions is carbonation. Karst regions are areas that are characterized by soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. Carbonation occurs when carbon dioxide in the atmosphere dissolves in rainwater, forming carbonic acid. This carbonic acid reacts with the soluble rocks, causing them to dissolve and form sinkholes, caves, and other distinctive landforms commonly found in Karst regions. Hydrolysis is the chemical breakdown of minerals by water, oxidation involves the combination of minerals with oxygen, and hydration is the process of minerals absorbing water molecules. While these processes can contribute to weathering in Karst regions, carbonation is considered to be the most important process due to the prevalence of soluble rocks in these areas.

The process by which rocks are disintegrated by physical and chemical means in situ is known as
Bayanin Amsa
The correct answer is "weathering." Weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down and disintegrated into smaller pieces due to physical and chemical means in their original location or "in situ." Physical weathering includes the breakdown of rocks through mechanical forces such as temperature changes, wind, water, and plant roots. Chemical weathering, on the other hand, involves chemical reactions that alter the chemical composition of the rocks. Together, these processes contribute to the continuous breakdown of rocks, eventually leading to the formation of soil.

Which of the following is a disadvantage of high population density?
Bayanin Amsa
A disadvantage of high population density is unemployment. When there is a high population density, there are more people competing for limited resources, such as jobs. This leads to a high rate of unemployment, as the number of people seeking employment is higher than the available job opportunities. This can lead to poverty, social unrest, and a strain on the economy. High population density can also lead to increased pressure on social amenities, such as water supply, housing, and transportation, which can further exacerbate the problem of unemployment.

The name of the volcanic rock which often forms the root of fold mountains is called
Bayanin Amsa
The name of the volcanic rock which often forms the root of fold mountains is called a "Batholith". A batholith is a large mass of intrusive igneous rock formed from cooled magma deep in the earth's crust. When the batholith pushes up towards the surface, it may encounter and cause the overlying rock layers to fold and uplift, resulting in the formation of fold mountains. Batholiths are typically made up of granite, a coarse-grained igneous rock composed mainly of feldspar, quartz, and mica.

Which of the following vegetation belts in Africa is the most extensive?
Bayanin Amsa
The most extensive vegetation belt in Africa is the Savannah. Savannah is a grassland with scattered trees that are typically found in tropical and subtropical regions. It covers a large portion of the African continent, stretching from the west coast of Senegal and Mauritania to the east coast of Ethiopia, and from the south of the Sahara desert to the north of the Kalahari desert. The Savannah vegetation belt is extensive because it is adapted to the climate of the region. The climate in Africa is generally warm and dry, with a long dry season and a short rainy season. The Savannah biome has adapted to these conditions by developing deep roots to access water, and by being able to survive long periods without rainfall. The Savannah biome is also home to a diverse range of wildlife, including large grazing animals such as zebras and giraffes, as well as predators such as lions and cheetahs. This diversity of wildlife is due to the abundance of food that is available in the Savannah, which is in turn supported by the grasses and trees that make up the biome. Overall, the Savannah biome is the most extensive vegetation belt in Africa due to its adaptability to the climate, its ability to support a diverse range of wildlife, and its importance as a source of food and livelihood for many people in the region.

Through what process are rift valleys formed?
Bayanin Amsa
Rift valleys are formed through the process of faulting. Faulting occurs when there is tensional stress in the Earth's crust, causing it to crack and split apart. The split forms two separate blocks of crust, with one side moving downwards and the other side moving upwards, creating a steep-sided valley in between. This process is often associated with the movement of tectonic plates, where the plates move apart and create a rift zone in the Earth's crust. Over time, erosion and other geological processes may modify the shape of the rift valley, but the initial formation is due to faulting.

What will be the local time in Nigeria 15oE when the time is 7.00 p.m. in town Y 30oW?
Bayanin Amsa
To solve this problem, we need to know the time difference between the two locations. Since Nigeria is 15 degrees east of the Prime Meridian (0 degrees), and town Y is 30 degrees west of the Prime Meridian, we can calculate the time difference as follows: 15 degrees east x 4 minutes/degree = 60 minutes (or 1 hour) ahead of GMT 30 degrees west x 4 minutes/degree = 120 minutes (or 2 hours) behind GMT So, the time difference between the two locations is 3 hours (2 hours + 1 hour). If it is 7.00 p.m. in town Y (30oW), then we need to add 3 hours to get the local time in Nigeria (15oE). 7.00 p.m. + 3 hours = 10.00 p.m. Therefore, the local time in Nigeria (15oE) when the time is 7.00 p.m. in town Y (30oW) is 10.00 p.m.

What is the name of the local wind that blows in West Africa between November and February?
Bayanin Amsa
The local wind that blows in West Africa between November and February is called the Harmattan. Harmattan is a dry and dusty northeasterly trade wind that blows from the Sahara Desert across West Africa towards the Gulf of Guinea. The wind is usually cold and can cause the temperature to drop significantly. It also carries a lot of dust and sand, which can reduce visibility and cause respiratory problems for people and animals. The Harmattan wind is an important weather phenomenon in West Africa, and its arrival is often eagerly anticipated for its cooling effect on the region.

African rivers exhibit the following characteristics except
Bayanin Amsa
African rivers exhibit all of the following characteristics except for "that they have great depths." Most African rivers have their sources in the interior highlands and flow towards the coast or interior basins. Due to the topography of the land, many African rivers have rapids and waterfalls on their courses. African rivers also exhibit seasonal variations in water volume, with some rivers experiencing a very high volume of water during the wet season and a very low volume of water during the dry season. However, African rivers are not known for their great depths. In general, African rivers are shallow and wide, with the exception of a few deep gorges and canyons. This is partly because the rivers have a relatively low gradient and slow velocity, which limits their ability to erode the river bed and deepen the channel.

Favourable factors for lumbering in Africa include all the following except
Bayanin Amsa
The question is asking to identify the exception among the listed factors that are favorable for lumbering in Africa. The first three options all suggest reasons why lumbering in Africa might be favorable - high demand for tropical timber, presence of many economic trees, and high demand for fuelwood. These factors suggest that there is a market for lumber products, and that there are abundant resources available for harvesting. The last option, "inaccessible equatorial forest," is the exception. This suggests that there are challenges to accessing and harvesting lumber from the equatorial forest, which could make lumbering less favorable in these areas. Factors that could contribute to inaccessibility might include terrain, climate, or other environmental factors. Therefore, the correct answer is "inaccessible equatorial forest," as it is the only factor that does not contribute to favorable conditions for lumbering in Africa.

What factor accounts for the slow rate of industrial development in Tropical Africa?
Bayanin Amsa
One of the factors that account for the slow rate of industrial development in Tropical Africa is the inadequate capital. Capital is the money and resources needed to start and sustain a business, and without it, industrial development cannot happen at a significant pace. Inadequate capital can prevent businesses from investing in modern equipment and technology, hiring skilled labor, and expanding their operations. Furthermore, inadequate capital can also prevent businesses from accessing the resources they need to grow, such as loans and investment capital. Thus, without adequate capital, the growth and development of industries in Tropical Africa can be significantly hindered.

Which of the following elements of weather and climate is matched with the wrong measuring instrument?
Bayanin Amsa
Humidity and barometer are matched with the wrong measuring instrument. A barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure, while humidity is measured using a hygrometer. Humidity refers to the amount of moisture present in the air, and it is usually expressed as relative humidity. A hygrometer measures the amount of water vapor in the air to calculate the relative humidity. On the other hand, a wind vane is used to measure the direction of the wind, while a thermometer is used to measure temperature. A raingauge is used to measure the amount of rainfall in a particular area. These instruments are correctly matched with their respective elements of weather and climate.

What method of mining is used for extracting petroleum in Africa?
Bayanin Amsa
Petroleum, also known as crude oil, is extracted from the earth's surface through a method called drilling. This method involves drilling deep wells into the earth's surface to reach the layer of rock that contains the oil reserves. Once the well reaches the oil reservoir, the oil is pumped out using various techniques, such as pressure or suction. Drilling is the primary method used for extracting petroleum in Africa, as it is in most other regions of the world where oil reserves are found. Other methods such as crushing, adit, or open cast are not suitable for extracting petroleum as it is usually located deep underground and requires specialized equipment and techniques to extract it.

Bayanin Amsa
Most warm ocean currents flow from the Equator. This is because the equator receives more solar radiation than other regions, which leads to warming of the seawater. As a result, the seawater becomes less dense and rises to the surface. The rising warm water then flows away from the equator in the form of ocean currents. These currents carry heat from the equatorial region to other parts of the world, affecting the climate and weather patterns in those regions.
