Which ONE of these statements explain what influence latitude has on the climate of a place?
Places closer to the Equator are usually warm all year.
Places further from the Equator are usually wetter in winter.
Places close to the Equator are very dry.
Places further from the Equator are usually warmer all year.
Which TWO of these statements explain what influence ocean currents has on the climate of a place?
Warm water flows from the Equator to the Poles. Cool water sinks from the Poles to the Equator. Warm water raises the temperature of the air near to it and helps the air carry more moisture.
Warm water flows from the Equator to the Poles. Cool water sinks from the Poles to the Equator. Colder water raises the temperature of the air near to it and helps the air it carry more moisture.
Warm water flows from the Equator to the Poles. Cool water sinks from the Poles to the Equator. Warm water lowers the temperature of the air near to it and makes the air carry less moisture.
Warm waters flow from the Equator to the Poles. Cool waters sink from the Poles to the Equator. Cold water lowers the temperature of the air near to it and makes the air carry less moisture.
Which TWO statements explain what influence distance from the sea has upon the climate of a place?
Land heats and cools faster than the sea. This means places nearer to the sea are cooler in the summer than places further inland.
Land heats and cools faster than the sea. This means places nearer to the sea are warmer in the winter than places further inland.
Land heats and cools faster than the sea. This means places nearer to the sea are warmer in the summer than places further inland.
Land heats and cools faster than the sea. This means places nearer to the sea are cooler in the winter than places further inland.
Which TWO of these statements are correct about how elevation influences the climate of a place?
Temperatures increase with height. The temperature usually increases by 1°C for every 100 metres.
The higher up a mountain, the less rainfall there is because the air is cooler and therefore it cannot hold as much water vapour.
Temperatures decrease with height. The temperature usually decreases by 1°C for every 100 metres.
The higher up a mountain, the more rainfall there is because the air is warmer and therefore it holds more water vapour.
Which TWO statements explain what influence winds and air masses have upon the climate of a place?
If winds have blown in from a hot area they will raise temperatures.
If winds have formed over oceans they are likely to carry more water vapour.
If winds have formed over land they are likely to carry more water vapour.
If winds have blown in from a cold area they will raise temperatures.
Which THREE statements are true about the location of this climate graph?
It is probably closer to the Equator than the Poles.
It is probably close to the sea.
It is probably high up on a mountain.
It is probably has lots of warm air masses reaching it.
Which TWO statements are TRUE about the location of this climate graph?
It is very close to the Equator.
It is in the southern hemisphere.
It is in a desert.
It probably has distinct seasons.
Which of these types of biomes is usually the coldest?
Polar
Tundra
Temperate grassland
Boreal forest
Which TWO statements are TRUE about rainforests?
Rainforests are usually found along the Equator.
Rainforests have hot and cold seasons.
Africa and North America have the largest areas of rainforest.
Very few rainforests are found further north or south of the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.
Which of the layers of the rainforest is the canopy?
A
B
C
D
Which THREE statements are TRUE about this rainforest food chain?
The howler monkey eats bananas and mangos.
The ocelot eats spider monkeys and sloths.
The caiman eats howler monkeys, Brazilian tapirs, and toucans.
Mosses grow on banana trees.
Which THREE statements describe ways that plants and trees have adapted to the rainforest biome?
Some trees have very thick, shallow roots.
Some plants grow on the branches of other trees.
Some plants can survive for a long time without water.
Some trees have v-shaped tips on their leaves.
Which THREE of these reasons are causing the deforestation of the rainforests?
Creating space for building houses and farms.
Building wind turbines.
Mining metals such as gold, silver, and copper.
Building roads and railways.
Which THREE of these statements are arguments AGAINST the deforestation of the rainforests?
Trees take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. If the rainforest is cut down, then there will be too much carbon dioxide in the air which will lead to faster global warming and climate change.
The money the government gets from companies that want to mine, farm, or build on the rainforest land can be spent on building schools and hospitals for the local people.
There are hundreds of plant species in the rainforest that we know very little about. Many of them could be used as medicine to help cure diseases such as cancer.
There are more than 200,000 tribal people living in the rainforest. Cutting down the trees means they will lose their homes and way of life.
