Akọwa Nkọwa
The description 'crescentic or moon-shaped and occurs transversely to the direction of the prevailing wind' refers to a barchan. A barchan is a type of sand dune that is crescent-shaped and has horns that point in the downwind direction. Barchans are formed by the action of wind, which blows sand particles across the desert floor and deposits them on the upwind side of the dune. As the sand accumulates, it forms the crescentic shape of the dune. Barchans migrate across the desert, with the horns pointing in the direction of the prevailing wind.

Akọwa Nkọwa
One of the major problems of manufacturing industries in Tropical Africa is inadequate raw materials. This means that manufacturing industries in this region often face a shortage of the necessary raw materials needed for production. This can be due to a number of factors, such as poor infrastructure, limited agricultural productivity, and a lack of investment in extractive industries. As a result, manufacturing industries in Tropical Africa often have to rely on imported raw materials, which can be expensive and further limit their ability to compete in the global marketplace.

All the following are environmental hazards except
Akọwa Nkọwa
The environmental hazards are the natural phenomena or human activities that cause harm to the environment and human health. Flooding and vulcanicity are environmental hazards because they can cause damage to property and life. Deforestation is also an environmental hazard because it can lead to soil erosion, loss of biodiversity and other negative impacts on the environment. However, afforestation is not an environmental hazard, as it refers to the process of planting trees and creating forests, which helps to mitigate the negative effects of deforestation and other environmental hazards. Therefore, the answer is "afforestation".

Which of the following is not a form of mass movement?
Akọwa Nkọwa
The correct answer is "earthquake". An earthquake is not a form of mass movement, it is a sudden shaking or trembling of the Earth's surface caused by the movement of tectonic plates. Mass movement, on the other hand, is the downward movement of soil, rock, or other debris under the influence of gravity. The other options - landslide, rockslide, and talus creep - are all forms of mass movement, where soil, rock, or other materials move down a slope due to gravity. Overall, mass movements can be caused by a variety of factors, including the angle of the slope, the type of material involved, the amount of water present, and the presence of vegetation or other stabilizing factors.

Akọwa Nkọwa
The region on the earth's surface popularly referred to as the land of midnight sun is the north of the Arctic Circle. This is because at latitudes north of the Arctic Circle (approximately 66.5 degrees north), there are periods of continuous daylight during the summer months. This occurs because the tilt of the Earth's axis means that the sun does not set below the horizon during this time. As a result, areas such as Norway, Sweden, Finland, and parts of Russia, which are located north of the Arctic Circle, experience the "midnight sun" phenomenon during the summer solstice.

Akọwa Nkọwa
A relative humidity of 100 percent means that air is saturated. Relative humidity is the ratio of the amount of moisture in the air to the maximum amount of moisture that can be held at a given temperature. When the air is holding the maximum amount of moisture that it can hold, it is considered to be saturated. Therefore, a relative humidity of 100 percent indicates that the air is fully saturated with moisture, and any further addition of moisture would result in condensation, such as dew or fog.

Which of the following are water pollutants?
Akọwa Nkọwa
Dissolved fertilizers are water pollutants. When fertilizers are applied to land, some of the nutrients dissolve in rainwater and are carried into streams and other water bodies. The excess nutrients, especially nitrogen and phosphorus, can cause an overgrowth of algae and other aquatic plants, leading to a process called eutrophication. This process can reduce oxygen levels in the water, leading to the death of fish and other aquatic organisms. Aquatic animals, shrimps, and water plants are not necessarily water pollutants but are part of the aquatic ecosystem. However, their presence and abundance can be indicators of water quality and the health of the ecosystem.

If the total land area of a country is 24,000 square kilometres and the population is 7,200,000. what is the population density of the country?
Akọwa Nkọwa
Population density is the number of people living in a particular area per unit of land area. To calculate the population density of a country, we divide the total population of the country by its land area. Population density = Total population / Land area In this question, the total land area of the country is given as 24,000 square kilometers and the population is 7,200,000. We can substitute these values in the above formula to find the population density. Population density = 7,200,000 / 24,000 Population density = 300 persons per km2 Therefore, the population density of the country is 300 persons per km2. The correct answer is: 300 persons per km2.

Akọwa Nkọwa
When the moon comes in between the earth and the sun, a solar eclipse occurs. The moon blocks the light from the sun, casting a shadow on the earth. Solar eclipses can only occur during the new moon phase, when the moon is between the sun and the earth. The eclipse can be partial or total depending on the alignment of the sun, moon, and earth. During a total solar eclipse, the sun's outer atmosphere or corona is visible, and the sky becomes dark as if it were nighttime.

Which of the following is not a contribution of transportation to economic development?
Akọwa Nkọwa
The correct answer is "decreased production". Transportation plays a significant role in economic development through various means, such as the movement of people and goods, creating employment opportunities, opening up new markets, promoting international trade, and enhancing cultural and social exchanges. However, decreased production cannot be considered as a contribution of transportation to economic development as it is a negative impact on the economy. Transportation is intended to facilitate the movement of goods and people, which should lead to increased production, not decreased production.

Trees in a savanna region develop the following adaptations to enable them survive the long dry season except
Akọwa Nkọwa
Savanna regions are characterized by long dry seasons, so trees in this region have adapted to survive these harsh conditions. The adaptation that is not listed among those that enable trees to survive the long dry season is "shallow roots." This is because shallow roots cannot access deep soil moisture during the dry season, making it difficult for the tree to survive. The other adaptations, such as long taproots, thick barks, and thin leaves, are all beneficial for the trees in the savanna region. Long taproots enable the trees to access deep soil moisture during the dry season, while thick barks protect the trees from fires that are common in savanna regions. Thin leaves reduce water loss through transpiration, which is important in a region where water is scarce.

The atmosphere is the blanket of gases that surrounds the Earth. It is an important resource for life on the planet. The gases in the atmosphere, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, are essential for supporting life. The atmosphere also plays a role in regulating the temperature and weather patterns on Earth. Rain and wind are two examples of the resources that the atmosphere provides. They are both important for shaping the landscape and providing water for plants and animals. Vegetation, on the other hand, is not a resource of the atmosphere but rather a part of the biosphere, which refers to all living organisms on Earth. Therefore, the correct answer is vegetation.

The answer is "ineffective publicity". This is because effective publicity is a key factor in promoting tourism and attracting tourists to a destination. The other options are favorable factors for tourism development in West Africa. Highlands, rocks and beaches provide scenic attractions, while abundant wildlife provides opportunities for nature-based tourism. Improved communication facilities facilitate the movement of tourists and provide access to information about tourist destinations. Therefore, ineffective publicity, which hinders the promotion and marketing of tourist destinations, is not a favorable factor for tourism development in West Africa.

Which of the following is not a possible cause of soil erosion?
Akọwa Nkọwa
Afforestation is not a possible cause of soil erosion. Afforestation is the process of establishing a forest, or stand of trees, in an area where there was no forest. It can actually help prevent soil erosion as the trees and their roots help to hold the soil in place, reducing the effects of wind and water erosion. On the other hand, deforestation, bush burning, and over-grazing are all known causes of soil erosion. Deforestation removes trees, which can lead to increased soil erosion from wind and water. Bush burning destroys vegetation cover and exposes the soil, making it more vulnerable to erosion. Over-grazing removes the vegetation cover and exposes the soil, making it more susceptible to erosion by wind and water.

Akọwa Nkọwa
A stalagmite differs from a stalactite in that a stalagmite starts from the floor of a cave while a stalactite starts from the roof of a cave. Therefore, the correct option is "starts from the floor of a cave". Stalagmites are formed by mineral deposits that accumulate on the floor of a cave over time, usually as a result of dripping water containing dissolved minerals. On the other hand, stalactites are formed by mineral deposits that accumulate on the roof of a cave and hang downward, also as a result of dripping water containing dissolved minerals.
