Geography Revision

What are the different climate zones?

• Tropical, dry, temperate, continental, and polar

• Tropical, arid, frigid, arctic, and desert

• Hot, cold, wet, dry, and moderate

• Equatorial, polar, arid, humid, and frigid

Explain the concept of plate tectonics.

• Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is made of solid gold and silver.

• Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, and the movement of these plates causes earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.

• Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is stationary and never moves.

• Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is controlled by alien spacecraft.

Name three economic activities.

• Banking, entertainment, and transportation

• Mining, education, and healthcare

• Fishing, construction, and technology

• Farming, manufacturing, and tourism

Discuss the factors that affect population distribution.

• Physical geography, climate, resources, economic opportunities, political factors, and cultural factors

• Population size, language, religion

• Distance from the equator, time zones, elevation

• Access to technology, social media, internet speed

What are natural disasters and give examples of each?

• Landslides, avalanches, typhoons

• Volcanic eruptions, blizzards, hailstorms

• Earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, wildfires, tornadoes, tsunamis

• Droughts, thunderstorms, heatwaves

How can map reading skills be useful in geography?

• Map reading skills only apply to history, not geography

• Map reading skills are not useful in geography

• Map reading skills can help in understanding geographical features, locations, and spatial relationships.

• Geography has nothing to do with map reading skills

What is urbanisation and what are its effects?

• Urbanisation is the process of population concentration in urban areas, and its effects include decreased demand for resources, environmental improvement, and no changes in social and cultural dynamics.

• Urbanisation is the process of population concentration in rural areas, and its effects include decreased demand for resources, environmental improvement, and no changes in social and cultural dynamics.

• Urbanisation is the process of population concentration in urban areas, and its effects include increased demand for resources, environmental degradation, and changes in social and cultural dynamics.

• Urbanisation is the process of population concentration in suburban areas, and its effects include decreased demand for resources, environmental improvement, and no changes in social and cultural dynamics.

Explain the process of weathering and its impact on landforms.

• Weathering is the process of creating new rocks and minerals, and its impact on landforms includes the destruction of valleys and caves.

• Weathering is the process of cooling down rocks, soil, and minerals, and its impact on landforms includes the formation of deserts and plains.

• Weathering is the process of increasing the strength of rocks, soil, and minerals, and its impact on landforms includes the formation of mountains and plateaus.

• Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks, soil, and minerals through exposure to the atmosphere, and its impact on landforms includes the formation of valleys, caves, and other unique geological features.

Describe the different settlement patterns found around the world.

• Mountainous settlements

• The different settlement patterns found around the world include rural, urban, suburban, dispersed, and clustered settlements.

• Underwater settlements

• Coastal settlements

What are some common landforms and how are they formed?

• Mountains, valleys, plains, plateaus; formed through tectonic activity, erosion, and deposition.

• Canyons, fjords, peninsulas, islands; formed through weathering and soil erosion

• Lakes, rivers, glaciers, swamps; formed through human activities and industrialization

• Oceans, deserts, forests; formed through volcanic eruptions and meteorite impacts
